Can one reliably compile 4.0 release patches on a 4.1 release system?

Is there some patches that aren't in 4.1? If so that seem really weird
why it wouldn't be. Can you give an example?

In my network I have 4.0 and 4.1 systems. I'm upgrading the 4.0 to 4.1, but in the mean time, if a patch is released, can I use my 4.1 build system to build a 4.0 patch using 4.0 sources?

FYI, I change DESTDIR in order to capture only the updated binaries. Then I make a binary patch with what was installed in $DESTDIR.

The reason for this is that I can use a single build machine running the current release, and two source trees, current and previous.

Hopefully that explains my intentions more succinctly.
