Try changing your job to run on an older runner image: 
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#choosing-github-hosted-runners


For instance, ubuntu-18.04 will build against glibc 2.27.

Definitely not that one.

Hi Alexis,

Note that the debian-project mailing list is for internal discussions of the
debian-project; debian-user is probably a better mailing list for questions
such as this.

The basic fact is that Linux binaries built in one environment are not
guaranteed to be portable to run on other Linux distributions (or other
versions of the same distribution).

If github actions give you the option of building in a Debian stable
environment, that would address your needs.

But I wouldn't generally regard github as a production build environment.

The other option is that you can wait for the next Debian stable release,
which will bring glibc 2.36...

If you want to support running on stable consider building on stable. You
may want to consult Github actions documentation to see if it's possible
and how to do that.
Please also note that the user support list is debian-user@.

Out of all of these options building on an older system sounds the best
and the easiest.

It's not clear whether you need a version lower than 2.32, higher than
that or exactly that one.

FWIW, Debian stable has 2.31, soon-to-be stable testing 2.36 [1], so perhaps
testing fills your bill.

All in all, I think you'd have to take this up with Github, not with
Debian.

Cheers

I discovered there are more lists than just this one, so I'll be forwarding
the email to the appropriate list (which I believe to be
debian-gl...@lists.debian.org). I should mention, I'm so glad I only
supplied my first name as I did not know that y'all could even get the name
I supplied to Google, much less that it would be published. I would rather
not publish my name and only be referenced by email
