I thought I would mention a tool I came across recently that might be of some 
use to people on this list who are sometimes tasked with making software 
runnable on older systems.

Deploymate <http://www.deploymateapp.com>

scans source code for SDK dependencies, and will list certain MacOS SDK calls 
that don't meet a certain target. Handy for seeing what will and won't break on 
certain systems, and gives you the option of of #ifdef'ing things out or 
otherwise fixing the builds if you want to do so.

So far seems much easier than the trial and error method I've used to date.

Only real hiccup is that it requires an xcode project to scan, which sometimes 
means making an xcode project for a Makefile project. (A good system I found 
for doing that is here, btw:
