I think they're getting at the fact that you can create statially linked binaries without dependencies beyond posix or LSB (much like go). Compiling said code probably will require some well defined version of the compiler (which is trivial to containerize) as noted by pid-1 and why the linked project exists

The "irrelevant" part is questionable and based on the author's thinking at the time, not gospel.
