What happened + What you expected to happen

I am encountering an error when trying to execute an operator with any tag earlier than quay.io/kuberay/operator:40a946a on both OpenShift and AWS EKS clusters. The error message indicates that specific glibc versions (GLIBC_2.34 and GLIBC_2.32) are not found.

Error Message:

/manager: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /manager)
/manager: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /manager)

Reproduction script

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy the operator with any tag earlier than quay.io/kuberay/operator:40a946a on an OpenShift or AWS EKS cluster.
2. Execute the operator.

Expected Behaviour:
The operator should execute without errors related to missing glibc versions.
Actual Behaviour:
The operator fails to execute, returning the error messages mentioned above.

Environment:

1. OpenShift Cluster:

   • Single Node installation
   • ldd --version output:

     ldd (GNU libc) 2.34
     

   • /etc/os-release:

     VERSION_ID="4.15"
     VARIANT="CoreOS"
     VARIANT_ID=coreos
     PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9"
     PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 415.92.202405281402-0 (Plow)"
     ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
     CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9::coreos"
     HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/"
     DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/"
     BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"
     REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="OpenShift Container Platform"
     REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION="4.15"
     REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="OpenShift Container Platform"
     REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="4.15"
     OPENSHIFT_VERSION="4.15"
     RHEL_VERSION="9.2"
     OSTREE_VERSION="415.92.202405281402-0"
     

2. AWS EKS Cluster:

   • ldd --version output:

     ldd (GNU libc) 2.26
     

   • /etc/os-release:

     NAME="Amazon Linux"
     VERSION="2"
     ID="amzn"
     ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
     VERSION_ID="2"
     PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2"
     ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
     CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2"
     HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/"
     SUPPORT_END="2025-06-30"
     

Anything else

• The issue seems to be related to the glibc version requirements of the /manager binary.
• OpenShift has glibc 2.34, but the error persists, suggesting a potential misconfiguration.
• AWS EKS has glibc 2.26, which is lower than the required version.
• I suspect that this issue is happening due to the use of ubuntu-latest when you build the operator. Probably the ubuntu-latest OS updated automatically as a GitHub runner and made the executable available to the latest OS.
