There isn't such a solution -- anytime that a program communicates to
a library via the C++ interface (vtable) both programs need to be
compiled with the same compiler. The C++ standard never standardized
how the names should be mangled and therefore two different C++
compilers cannot talk to each other.
It sucks balls, but anytime you're creating a library that multiple
applications from different compiler architectures need to use, you
should use the standard C interface.

The dll wrapper C interface is not terrible -- it will work ok. If you
could expose that interface in linux as well, I would be very happy.
This should not be tough -- I could lend a hand there if necessary.
