To be clear, it probably will "work" for some definition of "work" as 
long as the architecture is the same. In other words if you try it, it 
might well appear to work ok.

However as Devrim correctly points out, differences in glibc versions 
almost certainly will mean that you will have corrupt indexes on 
collatable columns. These indexes can be fixed via REINDEX, but if you 
don't do that *before* allowing any DML you risk further complications 
such as inability to REINDEX due to duplicate primary key values.

HTH,
