Doesn't matter if they're ALL coded in C++. The emitted code is particular to the machine (or its compatible brothers). That's why you can't use an x86 compiler on a non-x86 system. One can sometimes get a cross-compiler that runs on one type of system and emits code for another, but the output is machine-specific and bears no resemblance to 'cout << "Hello, world!"'.
