Depends on the run-time library compatibility between the various
Solaris versions; I don't know how compatible they are.

I'd suggest that you try building the client on Solaris 6, then
try copying the client/bb utility to some of the other boxes and 
run it - if it works, the client will probably work without needing
a re-compile.
