If you want something not to work, there are many possibilities to make
it fail. The documentation states clearly that only some standard stuff
will be translated and you might need some additional definitions.

This will work with most compilers I know, provided x is defined as
float or double and you include mdefs.h for the C code:

Series[Sin[x], {x, 0, 5}] // Normal // CForm

Series[Sin[x], {x, 0, 5}] // Normal // FortranForm

PS: I found that Mathematicas performance in general increases a lot
when using the option Brain -> On for $User. I'm not sure whether the
user installed on your system supports that option, but most users do,
so I would give it a try.
