Comment (by fbissey):

 Right! I didn't try ntl 6.2.x you are right (face palm). You shouldn't
 need the mangled symbol to write the test, this is pure ignorance. Most
 C++ compiler vendors have agreed to a common mangling scheme back at the
 time the release of gcc 3.4.0. It is virtually unchanged since then. I
 don't know a vendor that doesn't use that scheme. It is even arch
 independent. What doesn't work without precaution is calling C from C++
 without properly declaring it extern_C (or something like that), if you
 don't, the c++ compiler will look for a mangled symbol when C doesn't have
 any mangling.
