It *might* work, but if you build ethereal on 9.0 and 9.2 has a newer
version of some dynamic libs, things will fail.
If the newer version is binary-compatible with the old version, why would that fail? On ELF-based systems, a system should be linked with shared libraries based only on the major number, which shouldn't change unless the library changes in a binary-incompatible version.
