I've also hit this issue as Ubuntu 21.04 ships with glibc 2.33. I ended up solving it the hard way by rebuilding the image (I needed few other tools at the time anyway). Definitely agree it's a bit silly if we'd need to bump the image every time there's a new glibc version out there. I did try and see if there's a way to build against newer glibc, but target older versions and I didn't find a way to do that. Would statically linking test-progs be an option to avoid this kind of breakage in the future?
