It is a testament to the complete failure of the GNU/Linux userland that something like this seems at all attractive to spend time on (or, it seems, LLM tokens).

Actually, scratch that, because Windows and macOS have historically struggled with ABI compatibility as well (macOS less so, due to not caring about backward compatibility in the first place).

How did we get to the point where people feel they need to go to the length of embedding an ELF loader in their binary (!!) rather than just linking with glibc?
