Sure, they're recompilable. If whoever has the source recompiles them. Well, turns out ABI stability was not enough to make gamers use Linux, but it's an example. A better example would maybe be the Oracle database. You could maybe see them building for OpenBSD. But not if that means they'd sign up for rebuilding every six months the ABI has potentially broken in the new release. I would not say that this is the reason OpenBSD hasn't yet been the OS of choice for the Oracle sales team, of course.
