Vendors (and GCC porters) try pretty hard, often with reasonable
success, to have binary interoperability between C compilers.  

We can often use AIX libraries built using IBM's VisualAge C with
programs compiled using GCC.

The same is usually *not* true for C++; there's usually enough gross
name mangling behind the scenes that tends to vary based on compiler
strategy that linking programs compiled with one C++ compiler against
libs compiled with another often doesn't work.  (Indeed, it often
doesn't work if the two compilers are varying versions of G++...)

All that being said, I'd really want to use the same compiler to build
Slony-I that I used to build PostgreSQL, particularly if the
difference looked like it might be causing problems.
