It is likely that the rpm won't install nicely, because they depend on
the binary library interfaces (so there will be an unmet dependency when
installed). Of course it depends whether new binary incompatible library
are in different distribs or not. For fedora, for example I guess that the
gnash binaries should be rebuilt on each of the fedora releases - but I
may be wrong, I haven't tested. The libstdc++ tends to have binary 
incompatibilities, for example.

Having src.rpm is also important for testers, because that way they may 
easily be rebuilt on other distro versions with binary incompatible
library versions.
