Indeed, without knowing: while I knew about LSB tools of course,
I remained unaware that they actually provide compiler wrappers, too,
to try to provide reliable ABI compatibility.

In the case of my app it still most certainly wouldn't be reliably successful
(i.e. provide a universally runnable binary),
e.g. for the reason that SuSE vs. RHEL wxWidgets packages
- i.e. libraries not covered by core LSB specs AFAIK -
chose to (/not) enable wx2.4 build compat config flag
(and thus end up with incompatible vtable ABI issues).
