If you really want to do it, you have to build on the oldest revision,
and hope the OS remained backward-compatible. This has been the case
of Solaris.
However, you still need fixinc'ed headers for the particular version
of Solaris you're running, so keeping a single install tree for
multiple OSs is not really feasible.
