Would it be enough if I ensure that the API header file does not contain 
any C++-only usages for such a library internally implemented in C++ to 
be linkable from a C program or library?

Or would there be problems with the C linker not being able to resolve 
references from the C object code to C++ symbols in the library? (I hope 
I got that terminology correct.)

Thanks again.
