Look at statically pulling in GLIBC: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74740941/how-can-i-resolve-this-issue-libm-so-6-version-glibc-2-29-not-found-c-c

Rather than statically pulling in glibc, which can cause a bunch of issues (maybe), we should also consider updating the release builds to use the oldest version of Linux possible to reduce the glibc version issue.

I think to achieve that, we'll need to use Docker as the versions of Linux supported are still too new.

See this bump in Rust requirements for glibc and Linux kernel: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/08/01/Increasing-glibc-kernel-requirements.html
