That sounds odd to me ... why would you _expect_ to be able to link a program on Solaris 10 and then run it on Solaris 9? We support backward compatibility: old binaries that stick to the ABI will run on new systems. It doesn't work in the other direction, though, because we're unable to predict the future. New binaries won't necessarily run on older systems, and they're not supported. I think that ought to extend to the link editing phase as well, as new features occasionally appear here. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
