Software that is autoconf based that will take advantage of new
features present on the development platform but not the minimum
platform is going to be basically impossible (too hard to bother,
anyway) to build in a backwards-compatible way.  You're going to be
testing on the minimum platform anyway, so just build those things
there or use precompiled versions that someone else built.
