Providing different Linux packages outside of their native environments (official package trees) would be a nice thing, especially if not so common platforms can be used. At the same time, maintaining *installable* packages (repositories) and debugging them if things go wrong is a time consuming task. From usage statistics in .ee there are some distros on your list that have maybe a single user :) Compiling against different versions and different environments is good and the more varied the installation base is, the better different gotchas can be caught. But for optimal results, the outcomes should be tested as well (I guess the actual compilation-time differences are within minor versions of gcc/clang/pcsc-lite/openssl) Connecting a dedicated smart card reader + smart card and running some automated tests in addition to compilation on each and every platform, that would be a real cherry.
