Yeah and nothing ever lets you pick which versions to link to. You're going to get the latest ones and you better enjoy that. I found it out the hard way recently when I just wanted to do a perfectly normal thing of distributing precompiled binaries for my project. Ended up using whatever "Amazon Linux" is because it uses an old enough glibc but has a new enough gcc.

You can choose the version. There was apgcc from the (now dead) Autopackage project which did just that: https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/apbuild
