Remember that all modern distros and kernels are backwards compatible iwth binaries built on earlier versions, but the reverse is not true. We do not have forward compatibility. Binaries built on/for future kernels, distros, or libcs do not necessarily work on older versions.

Therefore, one solution is to get Debian Potato - 2.2 linux kernel with glibc 2.0 - and build the linux eubins there. The resulting binaries should then run on any later kernel/distro/version of glibc. The lowest common demoninator.

Ok, great. That is what I will do starting with beta 1.
