I recently experienced this in a critical situation. Long story short, something went very wrong during a big live event and I needed some tool to fix it.

I downloaded the 2 year old Linux binary, but it didn't run. I tried running it from an old Ubuntu Docker container, but there were dependencies missing and repos were long gone. Luckily it was open source, but compiling was taking ages. So in a case of "no way this works, but it doesn't hurt to try" I downloaded the Windows executable and ran it under Wine. Worked like a charm and everything was fixed before GCC was done compiling (I have a slow laptop).
