As long as any structs that are passed back and forth have the same
members and alignment, it should work. This includes struct FILE,
which means if the app tries to use stdio it'll likely crash.
I just compiled a little "hello world" object file on SUSE and linked
it on FreeBSD and it ran (it just calls printf, which is safe since it
doesn't pass a FILE *).
