I'll note that there are some even not really hidden binary
incompatibilities, where LLVM diverges from the psABI for years, it has been
reported and nothing has been changed.
So if a library is built with clang/LLVM and used by GCC built package or
vice versa, one might very well run into those (this is e.g. about passing
std::byte or other scoped enums with char/short underlying type by value, or
in some cases even about passing char/short arguments).
And of course unknown ABI bugs on both sides.
