Linux x64 binary package

Hello!

I can see that pg gem is distributed as a source Ruby gem and as a binary gem for Windows.

Is it possible to also ship a Linux x64 binary package? Is there a reason to not do so?

That could speed up installation/deployment of the applications when the platform is Linux x64 -- as we won't need to compile the native extensions if there are native builds already.

Is support for this something the maintainers might be interested in? If so I'd be happy to take a look.

This would be great, the pg gem is the only gem in my app that does not have a linux x64 binary and takes a significant amount of time to compile.

The PR for binary gems for Linux is already in a quite good shape. The only issue is that the x86_64-linux binary segfaults on my local Ubuntu-23.10 when connecting via OpenSSL encrypted connection.
