I must question what the heck you are doing with the poor library functions?

I have some cross platform software as well. It runs fine on Linux systems of all sorts. Build with the oldest version of software that you want to support. The glibc and libstdc++ libraries are really very backward compatible.

I have built on CentOS 4 and run it on RHEL 6 beta. No problems. I can build on stable Debian and run it on testing.

Now, I do sometimes have trouble with some libraries if I try to build on, say old Debian and try to run it on CentOS 5.4. That is usually due to distribution configuration choices that are different, like choosing threading or non-threading.
