2.6.4 is just a bugfix release- it's binary compatible with the other
2.6 releases. So any package that worked under 2.6.2 shouid also work
under 2.6.4 unless a new bug was introduced or it relied on a bug that
was fixed. And any package that works under 2.6.4 will also work under
2.6.2 without recompiling unless it hits one of the bugs that was
fixed.
