I'm no GCC expert, but I understand this kind of problem from other
compilers and platforms.

The ABI issue should affect C++ libraries -- if the library exposes C++
objects (which XERCES does), then it will need to be rebuilt.

Libraries that expose only C routines -- such as OpenSSL -- should be OK.
