I have an app built in a different environment that has lower versioned libs, such as boost. I was wondering if on the target there are symlinks to those libs, whether the app can be run on a target that has newer libs without resbuild against a matched env. Seems that is not viable.

Unless you need to do builds on targets you really do not need them so explain you usecase.
