Pre-RFC: Native GLIBC Version Support in Rust Toolchain
A new pre-RFC proposes adding native support for specifying GLIBC versions in Rust's rustc and cargo for -gnu targets. This change would allow developers to declare a binary's GLIBC deployment target, potentially improving compatibility and deployment flexibility. The discussion highlights the complexity of such an implementation, emphasizing the need for a standalone tool to manage local GLIBC to stub library conversions. This proposal could significantly impact Rust developers targeting Linux environments, offering more precise control over binary compatibility.
