binary compatibility with Debian...

["Michael Andronov" <michael_andronov@sd-kyber.com>]

Let me explain briefly the issue I've run into: 

1. I build a  really `short` application under Fedora or Mandrake disto(s): 
     
int main()
{
    return 0; 
}

On both above platforms,  it is build with command: 
g++ -g  -O0  -m32  test2.cpp, 

where test2.cpp  is a file with above mentioned code. 

2. I move the binary output  - a.out - to my Debian box.
Attempt to execute it  is immediately failing with 
`Floating point exception`. 

3.  Building above code on Debian and executing:
no problem - it is doing nothing, but not crashing... 

4. moving the binary, build on Debian to Fedora and/or Mandriva- 
 and running it  - no problem, doing nothing, not crashing. 


I would really appreciate any idea how to explain such behavior, and, 
possibly, an advice what should be done in order to share binary, 
build on Fedora/Mandriva with  Debian. 

Thanks for you kind attention to this matter.
