It depends on the dependencies.  You're far more likely to have problems
with libc or rpm than you are with the kernel.  This is for my 7.2
system:

[ewilts@linux1 ewilts]$ rpm -q openssh
openssh-2.9p2-1
[ewilts@linux1 ewilts]$ rpm -q openssh --requires
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
initscripts >= 5.20
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2  
libcrypto.so.2  
libc.so.6  
libdl.so.2  
libnsl.so.1  
libpam.so.0  
libutil.so.1  
libz.so.1  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
