We have seen that over and over again, and that's why it was decided a longer time ago to use Ubuntu as a reference platform. (Even providing a binary package that works through multiple Ubuntu versions has its trickiness as we've seen in the past.)

Actually, you don't have to build with g++ 4.1. RHEL 5 / CentOS 5 comes with
g++ 4.4 in repos, and you can build portable Linux binaries with it keeping
compatibility with RHEL 5.
