Very Computer

I've compiled some programs on AIX 4.3.3 and I want them to also run on AIX
4.2.1.  How can I accomplish this?  I currently get this error as I run the
executable on 4.2.1:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program because of the following errors:
        0509-027 Member shr_comm.o is not found or file is not an archive.
        0509-027 Member shr_comm.o is not found or file is not an archive.
        0509-022 Cannot load library libpthreads.a[shr_comm.o].
        0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can't.  AIX doesn't support that capability.  Build on the earliest
level to run on later (higher) levels.

Specifically, 4.2 uses draft 7 pthreads, 4.3 uses draft 10.  Not gonna
happen.

Programs built on AIX 4.3 will not in general run
on lower level versions of the OS.  IBM does not
claim AIX is "forward compatible".  You can build
on 4.2 and run on 4.3 however.
