Why does default build process matter? Once you haven figured it out and automated it (say, using a makefile), it doesn’t matter whether you’re using a default build process or not.

Also, the likes of Haskell let you build binaries dependent only on OS provided libraries whereas the likes of Nim compile to C. You might want to play with the short listed languages to get an idea. A simple Hello World will tell you what they link with by default. Anything beyond that is up to you.
