Changing the compiler but keeping the same set of headers may also result in different sizes/alignments. This was the case some time ago when MinGW appeared to align structures containing a double to 8 bytes whereas gcc would align those to 4 bytes.

Our headers are supposed to compensate for that. If that's not the case then one of the compilers will produce code that is not binary compatible with Windows applications. I.e. Wine will be unusable.
