My friend compiled a program on RH8.0 and was not able to run
it on RH 7.2.
Should there be such an incompatibility?
Is there a workaround

The jump was due to the incompatibilities rolled - like the famous glibc which
is NOT backward compatible, etc...
So Red Hat was basically forced to jump to 9 instead of 8.1, since "8.1" is
not compatible with 8.0, so they moved to 9.0
