I think it's more that the dependencies are named differently in the
older versions.  There's a special tool that chroots the compilaton so
you can check for obscure dependencies.

12.04 and 12.10, as well as the two newer versions beyond that,
"compile" on the remote system, but they have the issue you mentioned.

I'll let you know when I get it working--it should be soon, but I've
never seen this issue before.
