This is not true. The program may depend on the details of how a compiler in fact works (for example, how structure members are packed). Such a thing might be a bug, but it is there nonetheless, and is not a compiler bug. And if the binary in the archive was made by some other tool, then debugging resulting problems is a nightmare.
