glibc will net you almost every linux user.. if you want to go the extra mile and have a musl build, good on ya.. but you're worried about the 1%

as an example for inspiration, a shareware ftp client built September 2003, which i just installed and used to connect to ftp.synchro.net:

( and the huge old school list it came from: https://ayukov.com/nftp/older.html )

and it's 32-bit! i don't have any 32-bit libraries installed.

the rest of your users are windows (stuck with a dll dump in the install folder pretty much) and mac..

remember it's not magic. have them run the installer again and have the installer remove everything. it's not any weirder than the goofy shit people do to package and install java applications on linux. if you want to be extra you can put them in /opt/icy_tools and stick a file in /etc/profile.d to include your directory in the default path..
