Building and Deploying Rust Binaries Across Linux Distributions.
The Rust ecosystem has numerous platforms and extensive documentation to support cross-compilation features. But does it work as expected? Well, if your binary has few shared library dependencies, then it likely will. Compiling for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl significantly increases the likelihood that your binary will operate across different Linux distributions. However, the reality in production can be quite different. We still encounter dependency hell, and many Rust crates rely on shared libraries that may have varying names and paths....
