May be I am missing something here, the app will work on any LSB
certified distro since library B and C will provide the ABI required for
the App. The ABI coming from lib D will be taken care of by the
application developer himself by distributing the library.=20

The application will have to do this only for the libraries not covered
by LSB, of course.
