Right, the V3R2 is the target release, but it will still be in "RISC" form
until it is converted
back on the CISC box.  

What you need to look out for is how many releases you need to jump back
for the CISC boxes.
The earliest release you can specify as a target release when compiling
under V4R2 is V3R7 or V3R2.
V3R6 is not supported as a target release from V4R2M0. V4R1 or earlier
releases can compile with a target release of V3R1.

I believe the rule of thumb is the current release you are on and the two
prior releases.  Just keep in mind that V3R6 is considered to be an earlier
release than V3R2, despite the names.
