easiest solution I found was building SBCL targetting an old glibc using zig as the c compiler:

CC="zig cc -target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28" LD="zig cc -target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28"

zig bundles in all the glibc headers, so I think it should build on musl libc-based distro

for more complicated programs with native dependencies there is (https://github.com/Shinmera/deploy) or guix has a lot of CL libraries already and it's fairly easy to write packages for others, you can specify all dependencies with guix and use guix pack to get a .tar with all dependencies you can unpack and run on any other linux box

I was wondering if compiling via Zig would work. Also, thanks for the Guix tip—I will give that a try!

I think native dependencies would require something like this (which I believe uses Deploy to solve part of the problem): https://www.timmons.dev/posts/static-executables-with-sbcl.h...
