As many distros reuse deb or rpm.
You can build static build which can run on all linux at least on same type of cpu.
Whole point is about environment where exe runs.
Runtime file usually use shared libraries, which may not always be binary compatible for different distro even for same but different release.
If you build binary for specific distro version, you are always make sure it will works fine.
