Using machine with oldest glibc among all targets should 
generally work however recommended way to distribute software in 
Linux world is via distro-specific packages each built on own 
system. Common binary distributions are likely to work in most 
cases but no one gives you any guarantees for that - each distro 
is effectively a different operating system.
