+Binary compatibility with other compilers
+=========================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes some of the known binary compatibility problems
+when mixing object files built by clang with object files built by
+other compilers.
+
+If you run into a compatibility issue, please file a bug at bugs.llvm.org.
+
+gcc C++ ABI bug with variadic templates
+=======================================
+
+Older versions of gcc incorrectly mangle variadic class/function templates,
+which can lead to undefined symbol errors when linking gcc built objects
+with clang built objects.
+
+gcc does emit the correct symbol name as an alias for the incorrect one,
+so libraries built by gcc are not affected by this bug.  You can only
+hit this bug if you have a library built by clang and you try to link
+against it with a gcc built object that uses a variadic class/function
+template from the library.
+
+workarounds:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Use gcc 5.1.0 or newer.
+* Pass the -fabi-version=6 option to gcc when using versions < 5.1.0.
