This is a good question.  For the most part, the auxilliary[1] programs
should be static and compatible with the corresponding Emacs.  The
toughest area right now is the gnuserv-related stuff (gnuattach and
friends).  It is being worked on and (hopefully) improved.  With that
exception, I don't think it matters which version you have at the front
of your $PATH.

[1]  Did I spell it correctly this time? :-/
