You don’t need non-libc dependencies to run into issues when copying a binary from one host to another: glibc uses symbol versioning, so (unless you jump through some hoops) a binary built one a machine with a newer glibc will fail to run on a machine with an older glibc.

I ran into this last week — I wanted to install the neovim text editor from the official binary distribution, but because the project’s CI distro has a more recent glibc installed, the executable would fail to run on Ubuntu 18.04.

There are plenty of great details spelled out here, in case you aren’t familiar with this kind of thing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57749127/how-can-i-speci...
