Linuxbrew uses Ubuntu 14.04LTS Trusty Tahr with glibc 2.19 and GCC 4.8 on CircleCI to build bottles for Linuxbrew. This toolchain uses the old C++ ABI of GCC 4. The minimum Linux kernel version required by glibc 2.19 is 2.6.16.

We plan for the bottling architecture to follow the Ubuntu long term support releases. The next LTS release is Ubuntu 16.04LTS Xenial Xerus with glibc 2.23 and GCC 5.3. This toolchain uses the new C++ ABI of GCC 5, 6 and 7. The minimum Linux kernel version required by glibc 2.23 is 2.6.32.

Portable bottles

Formulae that are dependencies of glibc, namely binutils and patchelf, are built on the oldest supported distribution of Linux, currently CentOS 5. When we migrate to Ubuntu 16, the oldest supported distribution will be CentOS 6. See Build a portable bottle.
