Description
Hi, your docs at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq#_can-i-run-vs-code-server-on-older-linux-distributions are confusing at best.
I took a few moments to read between the tea leaves. And came up with this:
https://gist.github.com/dotysan/1c4c1dff8f9a62ec7fb14950c456dfae
It attempts to build a vscode-compatible sysroot on the old linux remote server in one step.

Start with the linked Remote FAQ section about running VS Code Server on older Linux distributions, then review the proposed sysroot approach in the linked gist. Done means the documentation explains the older-Linux fix clearly and accurately, including whether the one-step sysroot build is supported.
