Termurin OpenJDK 20 and 21 require GLIBC_2.14

[rainerjung]

Please provide a brief summary of the bug

Termurin OpenJDK 20 and 21 require GLIBC_2.14. This requirement did not exist until OpenJDK 19. It also does not exists for OpenJDK 20 and 21 builds from other vendors (Oracle, RedHat, Zulu, Amazon, OpenJDK Upstream).

Due to this requirement, Termurin 21 can not be used on the old Linux distributions SLES 11 and RHEL 6.

If this is intended, it should be documented in the release notes.

Please provide steps to reproduce where possible

/path/to/termurin21/bin/java -version

Expected Results

openjdk version "21" 2023-09-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21+35 (build 21+35-LTS)

Actual Results

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /path/to/termurin21/bin/../lib/libjli.so)

[rainerjung]

The symbol that needs the higher library version is "memcpy@GLIBC_2.14". This seems to be a widely known problem. For reference see e.g. https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/misc/gcc-semibug.html
