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.


Running older binary on newer system - backwards compatibility.

Running new binary on older system, forwards compatibility, not
guaranteed.

Best,

Liam
