It seems codecov-action pulls down a binary version of codecov-cli, I'm guessing packaged with PyInstaller and Python 3.11 compiled with glibc 2.29.

ldd doesn't show all the dependencies, but they can be found by unpacking the binary and running ldd on the libraries in the root.

The interesting thing is V3 also uses the uploader, but doesn't seem to run the create-commit subcommand that triggers the error. For now, until this is fixed or we can drop support for older platforms, we'll have to revert to V3 which seems to work fine.

There are two fixes I can think of: 1.) Statically linking the binary using staticx 2.) Provide the option to use the codecov-cli python package instead of downloading the binary. This would require a new-ish version of Python to be present (currently 3.8).
