Because PostgreSQL is compiling in old versions of OS?

Hi everyone!

I want to develop a installer for many purposes, but i have a question, when
I review the currently PostgreSQL versions, I see Ubuntu 5 or RHEL 4 , when
currently we have Ubuntu 16 or RHEL 7. for example:

/PostgreSQL 9.6.0 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.7
20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16), 64-bit

PostgreSQL 9.6.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu
5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit/

This is a standard, convention or is for compatibility? Which the best OS
version to complining with the goal to build binaries "standard" o "more
compatible"?

Thanks for your help!

Hello

You're wrong, that are gcc versions, not OS versions.

For example in my CentOS 6 Box

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.9 (Final)

gcc -v
[...trimmed...]
gcc versión 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18) (GCC)

Best

thats very difficult because library versions change between major
distro releases.   Stuff compiled for RHEL6/CentOS6 will run on
RHEL7/CentOS7 if you install the corresponding -compat libraries, but
thats about as good as it gets.

You're right!. Is the GGC version, not the OS version

Great! I think that I compiling in a GGC 4.X version is good for most SO
distribution right?

Thanks!
