Maybe GNU/Linux, but I can run binaries cross-compiled with GCC 10 on Arch Linux on some weird MIPS PoS terminal that's running Linux 2.6.30 without issues, as long as I don't use then non-existent syscalls, so I'm quite happy how Linux kernel handles backwards compatibility.
- pantalaimon 6y agoThe Linux Kernel holds backwards compatibility to a very high regards. It's userspace that throws all this out of the window.
