OpenBSD 5.9 - Hackdot

I don't know much about Swift, so please excuse my ignorance. Are these modules .so files, written in C++, linked by the system CXX (gcc5), and therefore unusable by Swift which was linked with Clang itself, or what's the technical explanation?

The Swift runtime library is currently partially written in C++.

I see, and in what scenario does it try to load a C++ .so built with gcc4? I'm sure this happens, but I'm curious what scenario it is on a distro where stuff shouldn't be partially built with g++4 and other stuff with g++5. I ran into the issues and am interested in the details as a way to avoid it myself.
