I doubt he said this in this generality: he surely knows that you
cannot mix C++ objects files on the object file level between those
compilers, as they implement completely different ABIs.

For Python, the biggest problem is that you cannot pass FILE* from one C 
library to the other, because of some stupid locking test in the C 
library. This does cause crashes when you try to use Python extension 
modules compiled with the wrong compiler.

Martin
