Some compilers even have different name mangling schemes accross versions.
So yes it is true.

If it is a problem depends on what you want to do. You can always use plain
C stubs to work around this problem like this:

extern "C" {
    void my_func () { }
}

If you just want to compile several C++ classes with several compilers than
you will most likely have problems.
