Box2D not working on 1.10.1-SNAPSHOT with Linux

Issue details

The latest gdx snapshot (1.10.1-SNAPSHOT) is not working with Box2D on my Amazon Linux 2 EC2 instance.

Unknown if this is isolated to just Amazon distros or not.

Reproduction steps/code

1. Create an Amazon Linux 2 EC2 instance
2. Dist a libGDX jar using 1.10.1-SNAPSHOT that creates a Box2D world.
3. Run the jar on the EC2 instance: java -jar mygame.jar
4. See error stack trace when creating Box2D world: Caused by: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SharedLibraryLoadRuntimeException: Couldn't load shared library 'libgdx-box2d64.so' for target: Linux, 64-bit

Start by reproducing the Box2D world creation on Amazon Linux 2 with the 1.10.1-SNAPSHOT dependencies, then inspect gdx-box2d-platform and SharedLibraryLoader around the failing libgdx-box2d64.so load. Compare the native library's GLIBC requirement with the target system. Done means Box2D loads successfully on the reported Linux environment without the GLIBC_2.27 error.
