Perhaps because as far as I know the only code generator for C-- 
generates 32-bit Intel code.  That doesn't provide much in the way of 
portability.

There's rumours of other code genrators, but I haven't seen them yet.

Well, there is a portable byte-code interpreter written in C, but 
that's very specifically not the point of C--.
