yes, using the latest available packages in a distribution works most of the
times, but is not guaranteed to always work; at any time you can upgrade to a
newer version of a tool, or a library, and ruin the build.
for reproducible results, explicit versions of the libraries should be compiled
from sources, with more or less controlled versions of the tools.
this is exactly what my build scripts do, run in a very strictly controlled
environment.

sure, if you are happy with it, no problem, use it.
however, if you need Linux functionality on Windows, the new WSL provides the
best compatibility possible, since it allows to run the original Linux binaries
directly on Windows, you don't have to recompile/replicate everything.
Microsoft pushes hard for it, and I'm convinced you'll hear more about this
technology in the future. starting with WSL2 in June, Windows 10 will also
include a Linux kernel, exactly for this purpose. who would have thought a few
years ago that this is even possible...

Liviu
