Moreover, in the case of C++ (also mentioned in the bug report) there
used to be ABI compatibility problems even between different versions
of GCC (though to be honest I don't know if that's still true).

So you if you compile two packages using different compilers (via
/usr/bin/c++) you could have problems using them together.
