Description
devcontainer.yml is useless since
- It does not catch errors by restricted syscalls by seccomp
- Runs on Ubuntu 24.04 which is same with ubuntu-latest runner
Currently, we cannot catch regression for https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8474 which depends on newer glibc.
So I suggest one of a
- updating to Ubuntu to 26.04 until ubuntu-latest was updated
- switch to some roling-release distribution
- drop the CI

Research direction
Start with devcontainer.yml and compare its Ubuntu 24.04 environment with the ubuntu-latest runner. Read issue #8474 to understand the regression that the current setup misses, then evaluate the proposed Ubuntu, rolling-release, and CI-removal alternatives. Done means the selected CI environment can catch the relevant regression or the CI is intentionally removed.
