static linked ISA executables

[Yasha Karant]

Suppose one has an ISA executable file (e.g., an application that is a 
native binary executable, not an interpreted executable) that works 
under a different Linux distribution -- for clarity, call that OTHER 
Linux.  OTHER may use a different kernel and a different glibc than SL, 
and the executable may be IA-32, not X86-64.  If under OTHER the 
executable file is built with only static libraries -- no dynamic .so 
calls -- will it execute under SL 7?   That is, when system (kernel) 
calls are made by the executable, will the use of a different kernel and 
glibc generally cause the executable to fail? I am restricting the 
discussion to the X86-64 ISA, not an arbitrary ISA for which OTHER may 
be available.
