Re: The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
#2This seems interesting even regardless of go. Is it realistic to create an executable which would work on very different kinds of Linux distros? e.g. 32-bit and 64-bit? Or maybe some general framework/library for building an arbitrary program at least for "any libc"?

Cosmopolitan goes one further: [binaries] that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS on AMD64 and ARM64

#5Is there a tool that takes an executable, collects all the required .so files and produces either a static executable, or a package that runs everywhere?

>Linux
if you configure binfmt_misc
>Windows
if you disable Windows Defender
>OpenBSD
only older versions

You can "package" all .so files you need into one file, there are many tools which do this (like a zip file).
But you can't take .so files and make one "static" binary out of them.

#9That seems mostly useful for proprietary programs. I don't like it.

#10I'd never heard of detour. That's a pretty cool hack.
