Why should the same compiler be used for the dependent application as the dynamic library?

Question

I recently had to compile Qt, and the instructions clearly state that my application must be compiled with the same compiler as the one with which I compile Qt. Now I don’t understand the reason for this and would like to know if this is specific to Qt or C ++ common thing?
