Description
I have occasionally hit run-time bugs that seem to be a kernel dependency, or perhaps a mismatch between the kernel version of the host and the userspace libraries shipped in our docker container image (glibc etc).
I wonder if we should write down somewhere what we test with. Our build page gives a version of Clang and GCC, though this would be a run-time guidance, not build-time....

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no target file; start by reviewing the existing build page and the runtime guidance for the Docker container image. Determine whether a minimum host kernel version can be established from the reported kernel and userspace concerns, then document the supported minimum or clarify that it remains undetermined.
