Okay, thanks so much for the information!

Just out of curiosity:

1. Since newer glibc's are compatible with older glibc's (but not the
other way around) is it not possible to take the latest glibc and
lower the 'minimum supported kernel version'?

2. If you have built your toolchain statically linked to an older
glibc then wouldn't it would mean you couldn't compile programs which
use newer system calls (e.g. futex, inotify)?
