He already said that he isn't looking for one-size-fits-all solution. Providing different builds for every supported distro version may be cheaper than carefully looking into the single binary solution. But he also needs location independence. This could be solved by single binary or dlopen. Justin, just out of curiosity: Why do you want location independence? With kind regards, Baurzhan.
