That's a Windows-specific concern; there've been changes made to how the 
Windows build process works, starting with 3.5. It's usually easiest to build 
against the exact Python that you want to run against; in the case of binaries 
downloaded from python.org, that basically means having one build for each 
version (major.minor) you want to support. (I'm not sure about other build 
concerns - you possibly need 32-bit and 64-bit builds for each version. Others 
will know more than I do on that.)

For non-Windows platforms, it's usually easiest to punt on the whole build 
process and just distribute source code. C compilers are more generally 
available on people's Linux systems than on their Windowses.
