the *installed* 1.6 libraries?  Yes -- just compile your program
on 1.6.  You will quite likely find it "just works".  Problems
to watch out for include:  1. new kernel functionality: if your
program relies on post-1.6    kernel functionality you'll lose;
2. new library routines     There may not be any of these.  If
there are, they may be small,    and you can add them to the
code you're compiling.  It might help if you said what you're
trying to build, hint hint. :-)
