Kernel doesn't matter, probably, but lib versions do!
And the compiler as well (I'm using gcc 3.3.6)
There's an infinite number of possibilities here, unfortunately.

Anyways, here is my lib setup relevant to pan:

/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-2.3.5.so
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.0.5.0

and the ldd based script to get this table:

#!/bin/sh
LIBS=./libs.links
ldd ./pan | grep -e '=>' | cut -d' ' -f3 > $LIBS
while read l ; do
        ls -l "$l"
done < $LIBS

Hope this helps!
