I thought that this has already been discussed now.....
If you compile for 2.4 and run on 2.2 then you are doing something wrong.
There never can be 100% compatibility for running applications on an
older OS environment than the one it has been compiled for.
If you have a decent OS environment, then running an application compiled
for release e.g. 12 should also run release 13 or later.
If you try to run it on release 11 or newer, then it is pure luck if it
works.
If Debian still compiles for 2.4 and let users partially downgrade their
OS environment to 2.2, then you should definitely file a bug against
the Debian make environment!
You need two sets of binaries for two sets of OS environments if you
like to have a high quality OS distribution.
