Another over con linux is the glibc 2.15 is required for the binaries created by the translator on the latest Mint. Also the interpreter and eubins I maintain also require glibc 2.15. It means if you drop a Linux eui binary on a random system that runs Linux. It might not work.
glibc 2.15 is from jan 2012: http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.15
I think we can presume anyone using an older glibc knows what they are doing and can built from source themselves.
In any case, it typically is technically possible to get such a newer binary to run on an older glibc: http://www.lightofdawn.org/wiki/wiki.cgi/NewAppsOnOldGlibc http://www.trevorpounds.com/blog/?p=103
So, if it ever turns out that we do need to support the older glibcs, then we can do it. I'm just not sure that this is the most urgent task right now.
