Depends on the specific systems. The "rules" for whether something
works or not have more to do with the hardware and OS revs:
*) A PA 2.0 CPU can run PA 2.0 and PA 1.1 binaries (I'm ignoring PA
1.0 since 10.20 doesn't support PA 1.0 CPUs)
*) A PA 1.1 CPU can only run PA 1.1 binaries
*) An application compiled on OS N will (likely as not) run on OS N+M
for some suitable bound on M.
*) It is not supported (there may be some exceptions) to compile an
application on OS N and run it on OS N-M ( for values of M greater
than zero :)
*) The binary type produced by the compiler will match that of the
system on which the compiler is run.
*) If you compile with +DAportable, the resulting binary will be PA 1.1.
