4d 20-> 4d80gt porting bug

I wrote a simple graphics driver for a program of ours on a 4d/20- personal
iris. Our program worked fine on all our test cases. We shipped a binary
to someone with a 4d/80 gt with alpha blending. When it starts up it
dies with this message: "Unable to map FIFO no such device"
I thought there was binary compatability across the 4d family.
Any ideas? It just occured to me that we didn't use the shared
graphics libraries (just linked with good ole' -Zg), could this be the
problem?
Thanks,
