Probably the best way to create a binary that can run on multiple systems is to use Java. It uses a virtual machine to interpret the bytecode, so it's platform-independant (for the most part; sometimes libraries are stupid).
Another thing you can do is compile the DOS program, and then use Wine to use it on Linux.
