That suggests someone went to significantly more effort than "just dynamically link it".

What effort exactly does it suggest? It ls literally dynamically linked with glbc.
It suggests someone went into the details of how it was linked and was careful about what it was and wasn't linked to, and perhaps even intervened directly in the low-level parts of the linking process.
Or rather it simply suggests you build for two versions of the major distributions of then, or the two distributions even...
Why is my entire argument so hard to understand? To build for a different glibc you do not have to do _any_ type of arcane magic or whatever you claim. You just build in a different system... or chroot... I have been doing that _myself_ for at least 15 years, and I know of other Linux desktop commercial shops that have been doing it for much, much longer. Chroots are _trivial_.
