version `GLIBC_2.29' not found in 3.6.5

I'm experiencing the following error on Linux CentOS7 :

$ ldd lua-language-server 
./lua-language-server: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./lua-language-server)
./lua-language-server: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./lua-language-server)
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff7d796000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe530f9c000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fe530d97000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fe530b7b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe5307ad000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055f9d3b29000)

I'm also running libc 2.17 on my VPS and I'm physically unable to upgrade 3.6.5 due to my provider's limitations... So, a version of statically linked binaries that runs on 2.29 or lower would be nice.

Github Action has been deprecated ubuntu18.04. Our build environment has been migrated to ubuntu20.04. Maybe we can use qemu and keep building with ubuntu18.04 if it's really necessary. @sumneko

A quick answer, you can compile lua-language-server yourself.

Although recompiling lua-language-server itself is a workaround. But given a widely used project, it would be a great experience for newcomers if it worked out of the box.

I noticed a similar issue on another project recently.

Unfortunately it'll be a while before all users can migrate away from older systems.

Here's a PR for a fix that might work: #1835

After upgrading to 3.8.0, this issue happened again 😂 //@sumneko
