But if you don't backport, you can teach your toolchain to start
producing binaries that fail to load on older glibc.  You will have to
keep creating binaries that lack proper markup.

My concern is that we go through all this trouble to implement a version
proper handshake, and yet Google binaries will still crash on older
glibc.

Thanks,
Florian
