Just trust me, it wouldn't.
To understand why, you need to understand external library
versioning, and internal symbol versioning. Both are described in
detail here:

No, it's not "just libraries".

Yes, that's called "backwards compatibility". FC5 is "backwards
compatible", meaning that binaries compiled on previous releases
continue to run. Most UNIX systems have such compatibility (so long
as you link dynamically against system libraries). E.g. Solaris-2.6
binaries happily run on Solaris 10.
I ship a commercial program on Linux, which I build on RedHat-6.2.
I have not seen any system this program will not run on in the last
8 years.
