I understand that there is (some) backward compatibility
built into RH versions for cross-compilation to older
RH systems. What I'm more interested in is forward-
compatibility.
So far I have had no problem compiling an application on
RH5.X and running it under either RH6.x
or RH7.0 (still downloading RH7.1). Likewise I have
had no problem compiling under 6.x and running it on
RH7.0.
I understand the backward compatibility issues (newer versions
of glibc etc), but have not really seen a discussion of forward
compatibility.
So far I have not seen any problems in compiling on older RH
versions and running on newer ones. I know under ideal
circumstances you want to recompile an application for the
newer OS.
I'm curious what the 'official' line is as well as what those
'in the trenches' have to say.
