Hi Geir,
That doesn't really affect that - LSB is based on POSIX, and they are pretty
much just a agreed version of glibc/libstdc++/etc that all Linux vendor would
pledge to implement - of course that doesn't mean you should use library calls
there is, which compromise the portability to other Unices, just like how you
compile to certain version of RH/Suse/etc, but you also compile on other Unixces
too.
Thanks

How would this affect portability to non-linux platforms?

Actually let me throw another idea at you - Why not compile with LSB
SDK, which
would actually work across different distribution, and no glibc/libstdc++
dependency!
