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

>Linux

if you configure binfmt_misc

>Windows

if you disable Windows Defender

>OpenBSD

only older versions

  • Yeah while APE is a technically impressive trick, these issues far outweigh the minor convenience of having a single binary.

    For most cases, a single Windows exe that targets the oldest version you want to support plus a single Glibc binary that dynamically links against the oldest version you want to support and so on is still the best option.
