If i compiled freeware/shareware programs with gcc under Solaris 2.2, do i have to recompile it under Solaris 2.3?

Thanx for your many answers!

No, except for programs that read kernel data structures (top, lsof).
And gcc needs to be reinstalled (fixincludes must be re-run on the new
include files)

Another exception are some programs which link with openwin lib's. Openwin 3.3
is based on X11R5, solaris 2.2 was based on X11R4

Not quite: The OW user programs in 3.2 are based on X11R5, just like thos
in 3.3. The server is based on R4 in OW 3.2/Solaris 2.2 and R5 in
Solaris 2.3. No recompling should be necessary, as the old shared libraries
should still be present.
