I seriously doubt they will -- OP will still be compiling against
newer libc and kernel headers, and linking against newer libc.so.

If it *does* work for non-trivial programs, please post an update.

Otherwise, the "standard" options are:
- develop on the lowest release you plan to support (usually the
  simplest option),
- install a FC6-x86 -> FC3-x86 cross-compiler
- use Apptools: http://autopackage.org/apbuild-apgcc.php

But that says nothing about executables running on older systems
then what they were built on. Build chain itself is likely not the
problem, it's the libraries and headers that the executable uses.
