Red Hat historically has provided compatibility libraries so that
software compiled on RHL n.x runs on o.x where o.x is the next major
series of releases after n.x.

If software from SuSE 7.x runs on RHL 7.x (as somone else said), then it
ought also run on RHL 8.0 if the same compatibility libraries needed to
support RHL 7.x apps on 8.0 are in place.
