I have a case where if I built on Ubuntu 10, the resulting bundle would
segfault on Ubuntu 13. I was making separate builds for each, but then I
read the excellent suggestion by Nathan Weston <elb...@spamcop.net>:

I took the Ubuntu-10 build to Ubuntu-13 (gotta love Dropbox plus Parallels!)
and dragged out of it all the lib*.so* files that I could 'find' in
/usr/lib.
Et voila, the app now works, no segfault.
So I began putting them back one at a time and found that it was only
libX11.so.6 whose presence caused a segfault.
I changed my spec file to read, in part:
a = Analysis(...)
nox11 = a.binaries - [('libX11.so.6',None,None)]
...
coll = COLLECT(exe,
nox11,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas, ...
Replacing the "a.binaries" with the modified "nox11" tree. And this works:
the app builds sans libX11 and runs on both Ubuntu 10 and 13.
