If you want for your software to work everywhere, but you want to avoid compilation step, then use Perl/Python/PHP with bindings to QT/GTK.
Linux has perfect backward compatibility, I still able to compile and run 70 years old app, developed on completely different OS and processor.
IMHO, you think that your app/lib binary will work on all combinations of OS/processor flawlessly without recompilation, which is not true. Nobody promising that. It's by design.
