We have some ancient systems we use to build backward compatible

But now I see random information floating around about
linux containers and lightweight virtualization. Anyone
who understands this stuff know if it might be more appropriate
than a "simple" chroot for what I want to do?
Is this stuff which might build with Mock? Mock is a system that's basically
made for exactly this kind of cross-distro-version compiling, and there is
work on migrating it to use containers natively.
