Yes (matching the "Linux: Runtime: RHEL 7 or CentOS 7" in the "The build 
chain and runtime baselines" section of README.md in the root of the LO

On Linux, typically each distro produces LO binaries for all the 
architectures supported by that distro, so there is likely less demand 
anyway for generic binaries offered from a central place (unlike is the 
case for e.g. macOS and Windows).  But your attempt is appreciated!
