no, it uses a new C++ ABI, the C part is unaffected. The problems with RH7
is that the c++ compiler they ship is severly broken. there are three
fundamental bugs in it. the worst one is that it doesn't correctly handle
function pointer casts if the exact type is unknown to the compiler. As a
result of this the casted pointer is not valid anymore.

I heard that it works by supplying the types by using reinterpret_cast<>,
but I don't think its important enough to work around bugs in a crappy
snapshot.
