Description

I have tried to run Linux x86_64 release, and it failed on a system with glibc 2.31:

$ ./dumbpipe 
./dumbpipe: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./dumbpipe)
./dumbpipe: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./dumbpipe)
./dumbpipe: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./dumbpipe)

Maybe build with cargo-zigbuild to get a static binary?

Otherwise at least build in an Ubuntu 18.04 container or something like this, but then it would not be runnable in Alpine Linux containers with musl libc.

I am using zig toolchain here without cargo-zigbuild, works pretty well and runs on any Linux:

Research direction

Start by inspecting how the Linux x86_64 release is built, then compare it with scripts/zig-rpc-server.sh and scripts/zig-cc referenced in the issue. Reproduce the failure on glibc 2.31 and verify that the resulting release runs on the supported Linux environments, including the stated Alpine/musl consideration.
