Worse: where do you get a 1997 era glibc for your current system? Nowhere, that's where. You need a container with a 1997 era distro, minumum.

- iforgotpassword 4y agoYes but that's ok, the article even mentions it with Debian 7 as an example. 1997 is indeed a bit extreme but going through the hassle once for your build setup should be acceptable pain.
- rfoo 4y agoI maintained a sysroot with glibc 2.17 (it was 2.12 before when there are still CentOS 6 presence), built with latest GCC, for $DAYJOB. You can then use whatever modern toolchain you like (be it Clang+LLD or latest GCC+binutils), just point sysroot to it. Runs everywhere, don't need a container with old distro. Wasn't too bad, but definitely takes ~0.2 SDE to maintain.
