But yeah that's pretty rare tbh.
- BeeOnRope 5y agoThe major library version number (e.g., 5 vs 6) isn't enough: the symbols even within lib.so.6 are versions and some may update every glibc version, so in general you may have problems building against a new libc 6 then running on a system with an old libc 6 (you'll get a runtime error from the dynamic loader complaining a missing versioned symbol).
