Note that there is now a proposal for building wheels for linux based on an old CentOS build (basically the same trick conda uses to keep everything compatible):
https://github.com/pypa/manylinux
There is a project to aid in the building of these wheels:
https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild/
We could look into using/adapting this to work with our existing infrastructure.
