TL;DR: Good luck! At least until recently it was virtually impossible to actually do this - Autopackage used to have a list of things that prevented making decently portable binary packages for Linux. I believe they resorted to shipping a modified linker to get things to work. Unfortunately there is a lot of hostility to making binary distribution easier on Linux because of the "you should be using shared libraries and why would you ever want to distribute binaries when you can just distribute the source code?" attitude that prevails. Having said that, GCC did finally add a real option to link statically (i.e. not `-static`) a few years ago. And I believe the linker finally supports symbol versioning.
