Regardless, JonY is correct.  Every C++ release, regardless of the
vendor, causes an ABI break with shared libraries and the naming of the
object elements (mangled names).  It is the nature created by technical
reason.  Not to mention that the first paragraph of the release states
that there is an ABI break.  And then there is this paragraph: "So the
plan for this ABI change has been to leave the soname (and the existing
binary interface) alone, and express the new ABI using different mangled
names."
