ubuntu-latest is missing libc dependencies for cross compiling

[chrichts]

Description

We are using a GitHub action to build our lambda go functions. Our Go functions require C libraries CGO_ENABLED=1 however the libraries are missing in Ubuntu 22.04.1 runner. This was working with the Ubuntu 20.04.05 runner.

Specific errors we are getting are:

/var/task/bootstrap: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /var/task/bootstrap)
/var/task/bootstrap: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /var/task/bootstrap)
/var/task/bootstrap: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /var/task/bootstrap)

Platforms affected

Is it regression?

Expected behavior

Expect aws go lambdas to be built with the required libc libraries.

Actual behavior

Aws go lambdas are missing the required libc libraries.

Repro steps

We're using AWS CDK so don't have simple to-reproduce steps. Let me know if you need them

Happy to provide more info if needed or do some further troubleshooting

Hello @chrichts, could you please provide minimal repro steps? Thank you!

@chrichts also found this workaround, maybe it can be of some help.

@chrichts It looks like version of your build requires glibc version older than ubuntu-22.04 is actually providing. In 22.04 the version is 2.35 (and we do not provide any alternative toolchain installed), so the easiest solution here is to explicitly specify ubuntu-20.04 I think. In anyway, there is nothing we can do on our side.

If you have questions left feel free to reach us out again :)
