I think this guy is optimistic if he thinks random DLLs built
by different sources are going to work together.

Possibly for C ...?  But are there any catches?  Stack layout?
Frame pointers?

For C++ it sounds like a no-hoper.  There are too many different
combinations of ABIs (just across versions of gcc, never mind across
different compilers), and exception handling for it to work.

Rich.
