Just to make it clear: the above list is from the asy binary I
compiled (and didn't submit anywhere yet) which should hopefully
provide better compatibility (but it still misses OpenGL support).

Do you actually have any issues running any of those binaries (other
than asy) or is this just a suggestion from theoretical perspective?
Some years ago we did have binaries built in jail on FreeBSD 7.0 (I
think) and there were quite some issues with them being too old, and
jail was more hurting than  helping with that.

For a while I kept running both the oldest and the newest FreeBSD, but
it didn't seem to make any difference (as long as I tested, the
binaries built on the latest OS all worked on the oldest), so I
stopped testing.
