Binary compatibility - The primary goal is binary
compatibility of native method libraries across all
Java VM implementations on a given platform.
Programmers should maintain only one version of
their native method libraries for a given platform.
It doesn't seem that they would refer to it as "binary" compatibility if
you had to recompile.
