Most kernel extensions developed for Mac OS X v10.1.x are upward

and large compatible with Panther. I recommend a thorough testing
cycle if you are planning to distribute kernel extensions to users of
multiple Mac OS X versions.
Interesting; in the several kernel extensions I've written/worked on,
building on 10.1.x caused them not to work in 10.2 which required us to
recompile under 10.2. Luckily we're no longer moving forward with
10.1.x support; everything we've compiled under 10.2 has been working
fine under 10.3.
On a related note, if I set gcc to 3.1 under XCode, should the kernel
extensions work under 10.2? I realize that this probably isn't
recommended, but it speeds development for me to build on one OS
release.
