building and running on Snow Leopard

If you build an application on Snow Leopard, but against the 10.5 deployment target, and then you run the program on Snow Leopard, do you get all the Leopard 10.5 bugs as if you ran it on Leopard, or do you get to benefit from Snow Leopard bug fixes only if you build against the 10.6 deplotment
