No, the problem is specific to C++.  It isn't even specific to
open-source, it's specific to C++.  Other non-open-source C++ compilers
have the same problems.

You don't have the same problem with C.  You don't have the same problem
with objective-C, you don't have the same problem with Python, and you
rarely have the same problem with Perl (there were a few versions that
broke binary compatibility, I believe, but not many).

When you have a constantly changing standard that few know even how to
_interpret_ right, it's hard to create a stable API from that.
