Use cross for Linux builds to ensure glibc 2.31 compatibility#67
Conversation
…ibility The release workflow was building on ubuntu-latest (Ubuntu 24.04), which produced binaries requiring glibc 2.39+. This made the binaries incompatible with most Linux distributions (only Ubuntu 24.04+ and Fedora 40+ worked). Switch Linux builds to use the `cross` tool, which compiles inside Docker containers with an older glibc (2.31). This makes the binaries compatible with Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 9+, Fedora 33+, and most other modern Linux distributions. https://claude.ai/code/session_01PgK6kkizuvPvv6oq1Ku2QW

Summary
Updated the release build workflow to use the
crosstool for Linux targets, ensuring binaries are compatible with glibc 2.31 and older systems. This prevents the ubuntu-latest (24.04) environment from producing binaries that require glibc 2.39+.Changes
crosstool for Linux buildscross buildinstead ofcargo buildcrossImplementation Details
The workflow now conditionally uses
crossfor any target containing "linux" in its name, while maintaining the existingcargo buildapproach for other platforms (macOS, Windows, etc.). This ensures broad compatibility across different glibc versions without affecting the build process for non-Linux targets.https://claude.ai/code/session_01PgK6kkizuvPvv6oq1Ku2QW
