I don't know. I use glibc 2.2 and gcc 2.95.2:

kukuk@allen:/src/cvs/LSB/src/tests > appchk/appchk /bin/more 
Symbol dcgettext used, but not part of LSB
Symbol dcgettext has version GLIBC_2.0 expecting .bss
Symbol setupterm used, but not part of LSB
Symbol fopen has version GLIBC_2.1 expecting 
section .sbss is not in the LSB

In the moment I know of (using gcc 2.95.3 and glibc 2.2.2):
readdir64
__xstat64
__fxstat64
getrlimit64
setrlimit64 has version GLIBC_2.1 expecting .bss
mkstemp64

I have lsbdev-0.7.3-1.i386.rpm

shellWidgetClass in libX11.so.6 is missing. I cannot find this function
in libX11.so.6 from XFree86 4.0.2 and 4.0.3.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
