It’ll work correctly as long as the datatype representations are consistent. For example, if both are little endian machines with the same size for integers, doubles, etc., it’ll be fine. For example, if you have x86_64 processors on both machines, but are using two different variants of 64-bit linux (and the same compiler on both machines), it should be OK.

Nevertheless, we don’t really support such configurations. So if things break, you are on your own. :-)
