If so, please let me know what it is. glibc provides backwards compatability, but not forwards compatability. That is, a program built with an earlier version of libc6 will continue to work with later versions of libc6. But, a program built for a recent version of libc6 may not work with earlier versions. For example, it might end up built to use a version of a symbol that is not in earlier versions of libc6. -- see shy jo
