When I compile something on my Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 PC it gets linked against glibc. Lucid uses 2.11 of glibc. When I run this binary on another PC with an older glibc, the command fails saying there's no glibc 2.11...

As far as I know glibc uses symbol versioning. Can I force gcc to link against a specific symbol version?

In my concret use I try to compile a gcc cross toolchain for ARM.
