On windows, it is possible to build a binary using a compiler on Windows XP
that can then run on older versions of windows simply by not using any
features specific to the newest versions of windows XP (or by using
LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to see if those features are available or not).
Can you do the same thing on linux?
