Hmm, excellent point! Also, one should mention that there is a difference 
between 32- and 64-bit images.

How about some text like:

    The created binary file is dependent on the Rexx language level and the 
bitness (32 or 64 bit)
    of the Rexx interpreter used for creating the binary file. Each time the 
Rexx language level
    gets increased by a new release of Rexx or each time you switch the bitness 
of the Rexx
    interpreter you need to run rexxc again.

How does that sound?
