And vice versa.

The problem will just shift, not go away. Consider your (external) dependen=
cy=20
is built with MinGW. So building your application with the "platform standa=
rd"=20
C++-ABI is the wrong thing to do, in this case.

I don't think the problem can be resolved, realistically.

P.S.: But also, I think that supporting multiple compilers can hardly be=20
considered a "solution" to the problem, either. It just splits up the set o=
f=20
breakages into two distinct sets: those that are broken with MSVC, and thos=
e=20
that are broken with MinGW (three sets, if you count those that are broken=
=20
with either compiler). Let the user choose: You want bug A or bug B?
