It would be useful if version output included information about what platform a binary was built for/on - like including the "distmod" scons parameter or sysInfo from db.serverBuildInfo(). Neither of those are perfect but would help a lot in cases where for example someone downloads binaries for the wrong platform and all we have to go on is what the binary prints before failing to start.
