jeez that'll be difficult, RH is built on released software plus a squillion patches, there kernel, xfree glibc and compilers are heavily enough patches.. You can just look at the nemas of the RPMS/SRPMS for the package for the distrib you want so for RH 8.0 kernel-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm glibc-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm binutils-2.13.90.0.2-2.i386.rpm XFree86-libs-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm etc, but these packages probably contain bugfixes over and above released versions, I doubt they contain any incompatibilities..
