So making a binary that works across multiple Linux distributions is apparently way harder than I previously assumed.
Our linux nightlies are build on Debian Jessie These binaries definitely don't work on either Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 16.04, and I suspect they have problems on other Ubuntus, but I don't know which ones. I know that our Debian Jessie nightlies DO work on Steam (or at least they did last time I checked), even on Ubuntu 14.04, and I think that is simply because Steam itself takes care of providing copies of the necessary versions of libc. Right now I am thinking of the possibility of distributing multiple Linux binaries for different distros. I think doing this via a few VMs would probably be reasonable-- and certainly easier than figuring out cross-distro cross-compiling.
