+Dependency compiled with different version of `rustc`.
+
+Example of erroneous code:
+
+`a.rs`
+```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests)
+// compiled with stable `rustc`
+
+#[crate_type = "lib"]
+```
+
+`b.rs`
+```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests)
+// compiled with nightly `rustc`
+
+#[crate_type = "lib"]
+
+extern crate a; // error: found crate `a` compiled by an incompatible version
+                //        of rustc
+```
+
+This error is caused when the version of `rustc` used to compile a crate, as
+stored in the binary's metadata, differs from the version of one of its
+dependencies. Many parts of Rust binaries are considered unstable. For
+instance, the Rust ABI is not stable between compiler versions. This means that
+the compiler cannot be sure about *how* to call a function between compiler
+versions, and therefore this error occurs.
+
+This error can be fixed by:
+ * Using [Cargo](../cargo/index.html), the Rust package manager and
+   [Rustup](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/), the Rust toolchain installer,
+   automatically fixing this issue.
+ * Recompiling the crates with a uniform `rustc` version.
