It's a little more involved than that. There are many shared
libraries that vary from version to version, and there's no way to
build a completely static exe. If you build with code that assumes a
certain version of a library, and it is run on a machine with a
different version, you will get errors. That's why most Linux
programs have you compile them as part of the configure/make/make
install dance.
