That said, it should still be possible to mix them in different libraries.
The constraint from the wiki still applies: if you don't use STL types at library boundaries, then it should still work.  If you do, then the libc++ and libstdc++ symbols will be mangled differently and so you will get link-time errors.

In theory, if it links it should run...
