What I find amazing is why people continously claim glibc is the problem here. I have a commercial software binary from 1996 that _still works_ to this day. It even links with X11, and works under Xwayland.

The trick? It's not statically linked, but dynamically linked. And it doesn't like with anything other than glibc, X11 ... and bdb.

At this point I think people just do not know how binary compatibility works at all. Or they refer to a different problem that I am not familiar with.
