Description
Just experienced an error when trying to run one of the tools on Ubuntu focal / Mint 20.3 (Una). Is it supported?
$ wasm2wat plugin.wasm
wasm2wat: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by wasm2wat)
wasm2wat: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by wasm2wat)
wasm2wat: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by wasm2wat)

Research direction
Start with the wasm2wat executable and the reported Ubuntu focal runtime error, then inspect how the project builds and distributes binaries for Linux. Compare the required GLIBC and GLIBCXX versions with Ubuntu focal's versions; done means wasm2wat runs there or the supported-platform requirements are clearly documented.
