Between C++ objects and object files?  Whether two object files
are binary compatible makes sense as a question.

It is usually associated with compiler output: object files and
libraries.  If two files are object compatible, they can be
linked together and will work as expected.  (I know you know
that, but I think it's the answer to the question the original
poster tried to ask.)

If you're using third party libraries, you don't always have a
choice.  You have to compile with whatever options are necessary
to ensure binary compatibility with what they furnish.  (For
starters, this usually means compiling with CC, and not g++.)
