Description

Hi!

I test my LibGit2Sharp application on old Linux platform and stuck with error, after some research i execute ldd command inside terminal:

ldd libgit2-a418d9d.so

Output:
version GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/lib/versioncontrol/libgit2-a418d9d.so)

It seems that this is the real cause of the load DLL error.

How can I embed this dependency directly into the application so that it doesn't try to look for it in the system?
Currently, GLIBC_2.24 is installed on the machine. Updating GLIBC to a newer version, like 2.25, is not possible due to company policies.

Reproduction steps

Start application and execute "pull" command through LibGit2Sharp.

Expected behavior

Execute of "pull" command successfully finished.

Actual behavior

Error on application "Pull" command:
The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.
InnerException = {"Unable to load DLL 'git2-a418d9d' or one of its dependencies: }

Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the pull command failure on Astra Linux 1.6 with LibGit2Sharp 0.30.0, then inspect the ldd output for libgit2-a418d9d.so and the NativeMethods type-initializer exception. Determine whether the GLIBC_2.25 dependency can be addressed within the application; done means the pull command completes on a system with GLIBC_2.24 without the DLL load error.
