See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19963-01/html/821-1601/compile-94611.html"An application compiled on Solaris 10 can run on Solaris 9 if the application was explicitly linked with the libthread or libpthread libraries." So it seems the safer option is to always link with libpthread. Any drawback I miss here?
As far as I can tell Solaris guarantees only backward compatibility. And this is not the case. Actually it's very likely that you won't be able to execute binary (if it's not just hello world) on older system because new binary requires new libc version.
