Yeah the direct syscall interface isn't a problem because it's so stable. The problem is almost entirely glibc. If GCC simply had a flag --glibc-version=2.14 or whatever then 99% of the problems would be solved. I tend to just compile on a really old distro to work around this. Tbf you need to do the same thing on Mac, it just isn't so much of an issue because Macs are easier to update. The other side of the problem is that the whole Linux ecosystem is actively hostile to bundling dependencies and binary distribution in general, so it's not a surprise that it sucks so much.
