When they ask. More usefully Dan Quinlann and most vendors put together a
recommended set of things to build with and use. It warns about library
pitfalls, kernel changes and what packaging is supported. It is far from
perfect and nothing like the LSB goals but its a start and following it does
give you applications that with a bit of care run on everything.

I believe so, and Adabas was SuSE only, and I doubt either vendor wanted it
that way. Both actually ran fine on the other but were not supported.
