To what extent can a library compiled with compiler A be used
by a program compiled with compiler B ?

My question concerns the uniqueness of the name mangling scheme.
If the two compilers mangle names in the same way, I guess it
will be possible to share libraries.  What is the deal here?
Is there some "standard" mangling scheme?
