Only for the binaries, right? Building from source should still be possible, I'd expect. (Though I'm not sure if we care, it might be good to clarify in the description) |
Added a note to the PR description. |

Guix builds: |
Also point to the latest commit on the glibc 2.27 releases branch. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release/2.27/master

Build against glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (previously only used for RISC-V), and at the same time, increase our minimum required glibc to 2.27 (2018). This would drop support for Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) & Debian Stretch (9), from the produced release binaries. Compiling from source on those systems may be possible, assuming you can install a recent enough compiler/toolchain etc.
