I think that may be a red herring. We normally don't link to name mangled C++ libraries, anyway. Most libraries export their useful symbols in de-mangled format for linking to other languages. That way you can basically dlopen and look for the symbol. There are some libraries that are really only intended to be called from C++ and I don't expect anything other than C++ to use those libraries. I'm not sure if Ruby or Python (for example) can deal with mangled names. I think there are some tools that will generate wrappers to make them callable from things that don't understand mangled names, but if you want to make your stuff interoperable - make it C callable.
It isn't that hard to define something like MyType_t which is a pointer. Then some C code to allocate to wrap the MyType so the type is usable from any language.
