That's just plain not true.

I run several 'patchlevels' of RedHat9, and I only compile my plugins
once on an RH9 machine.

I run stuff compiled on/for RedHat on Mandrake all the time.
When there's an RPM, but not for your platform, you sometimes have to
just use what they give you.

For example, I run Yahoo! Messenger (because GAIM is broken right now)
on the same Mandrake 10 (cooker) workstation I'm emailing this message
from.  Now, if you go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/ you'll see that
there is no Mandrake distribution.  How does it work, then?

Microcom.  Microcom comes pre-compiled for Mandrake 6.0!  It runs FINE
on Mandrake 10.  I re-compiled it for my machine, but I ran it for about
an hour with the pre-compiled version because I was in a hurry.

So, you're really just spreading FUD.
