HP-UX Binary Backward Compatibility

I just noticed that some HPUX 10.2 source we have doesn't link properly on HPUX 11 but the statically linked binaries run fine. The machine they are running on is an N4000, not sure what processor is being used in this box.

I am thinking of just running the binaries on 11 and not recompiling/linking the code under 11. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the binary backward compatibility from 10.2 to 11 is risky to depend on?

Re: HP-UX Binary Backward Compatibility

Static binaries are forward compatible. (so 10.20 binaries will work fine on 11.X)
