For non-graphical apps, you can link statically against musl to produce a binary that only depends on the Linux kernel version and not the version or type of libc on the system. You may take a performance hit as musl isn't optimized for speed, and a size hit for shipping your own libc, and a feature hit because musl is designed to be minimal, but for many command line tools all of these downsides are acceptable.
