There is no need to consider "link-incompatibility with current code"
as a requirement or even a goal for C++, only for C. The intention
is that C++ ABI will change in the next year or so, anyway.
This is the purpose for the -fnew-abi flag. However, we should
resolve these issues before we freeze the "new ABI", which we
have to do before we make it the default.
