And on the plus side, if you go fully static with musl (or ship your own libc & loader àla @knc1), you can *probably* avoid a whole lot of hassle trying to mix'n match old libc & gcc versions, which is where most of the hassle lies when you want to target dynamic linking on those old crappy systems.
You're mostly left with dealing with old kernel headers, which *should* be less problematic to overcome.
