I think there is something wrong with the file. It's only 4k and
when unpacking I get complaints with "not a gzip archive".

glibc issues sounds serious. For all that I know I'm using glibc 2.1.
And I know there are always serious binary compatibility issues between
different glibc versions. But we'll see if it works on my system :)
glibc is one of the curses of Linux. But by the way - is it possible
to create binaries with MLton which does not rely on glibc?
(using the native x86 backend?) Because that would give
MLton binaries a good advantage over all other Linux binaries :)
But I guess the runtime uses it for all the system C-calls.
And probably it will give many other problems trying to avoid glibc.
