As Chris notes, without using the LSB tools, you'll not be
conforming.  Some of the messages are false negatives,
ones that go away if you do use the right tools, which
will enforce the proper symbol versions, dynamic linker,
and so on.  Also an autoconfiguring build run under the
LSB tools may well detect most of the portability issues
and do the right thing.

Nonetheless, there's probably some work to be done
and we're happy to give pointers as issues come up.
