I suppose this applies to proprietary systems like Windows.  If you
have a GNU/Linux/etc. system you're not well advised to use a
"portable" binary: you'll be using the appropriate package.  (There
are lots of good reasons for this; in particular, it'll have been TCKd
in that environment.)  So the issue of binaries boils down to
Windows/Mac, I think.
