You can choose the version. There was apgcc from the (now dead) Autopackage project which did just that: https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/apbuild

It's not at all straightforward, it should be the kind of thing that's just a compiler flag, as opposed to needing to restructure your build process to support it.

  • Yeah that's what I meant. I also came across some script with redefinitions of C standard library functions that supposedly also allows you to link against older glibc symbols. I couldn't make it work.

    Any half-decent SDK should allow you to trivially target an older platform version, but apparently doing trivial-seeming things without suffering is not The Linux Way™.
