    I am building a few open source softwares from their source. The softwares include icu4c, xerces-c, xalan-c. I am building on AIX 5.1. Will the binaries built work on AIX 5.2. Is AIX 5.2 backward compatible with AIX 5.1.
    Thanks

    Yes, AIX has maintained backward compatibility for some time, meaning there is binary compatibility between release levels.
