You mean something more empirical than
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/lsb.shtml ? I tend to
cross-reference with that when adding stuff to Ureka and just err
on the side of including things where feasible, then of course test
it on the main target platforms. We have also been building on
CentOS 5-6 BTW (I believe the former is about to be unsupported).

Just skimming the thread...
