I believe there remain some corner cases where the build options of the 
software under test may not precisely match those used in building googletest 
-- leading to compile or test failures.  One example is described in bug 
#789267.

That said, many projects do indeed successfully use the compiled library.  So 
you are probably fine.  If you encounter odd failures, you can always revert 
back to building gtest.
