Though it should be noted that when you compile such a binary on a system with a newer glibc, it will not work on a system with an older glibc. To be fair this is basically the case with C as well (you can work around it with .symver but it's kind of dodgy), but it is worth keeping in mind.

Yes, this is true for a great many things. If I compile these pseudo-static binaries for use on multiple different linux distributions or libc versions, I compile on the oldest/lowest common denominator so that it runs everywhere I need it to.
