Yes, they don't mix. If they are linked to same program the program
dumps a core.

Libraries on Linux are different from Amiga, but they are not that bad
once you get used to them. The main advantage over Amiga libraries is
that you can easily have several versions of libraries on same system
and when properly used and the system is installed correctly they
don't interfere with each other.
You could not do this on Amiga always when updating libraries one
risked the stability of the system. All Amiga libraries were not that
good on compatibility.
