No, we can't guarantee this.  People run different distros.

That is an issue that needs a different solution than what you suggested
above.  It sounds like there is a bug in the toolchain somewhere related
to your architecture (that I've never heard of).  If you could tell us
what the bug is, in which tool, we will see if we can change the
toolchain requirements to avoid this bug.
