I'm confused. Are you still compiling with lsbcc? Where does
/home/prashant/installed/dist-gtk/libgio-2.0.so.0 come from? You just
grabbed a distro copy of the library? You would need to compile this
with lsbcc also, or as you mention, build on and use libraries from the
oldest system possible. This is what I've heard many ISVs do. Are you
actually using libgio, or it's just showing up as a dep to another
library (LSB doesn't include it, but we're usually able to still build
things without it),
