I do not know if the idea of setting a minimum supported version of a libc has ever come up before (at least I am unaware of one). I suspect most people do a patch like this then move on because it is the maximally compatible option and these samples are not changing much, are they? This is the first build error I can recall seeing as a result of using an older glibc environment. If we would like to seriously consider setting a minimum supported version of glibc, it deserves a conversation with a wider audience since it could impact areas other than the samples, such as host tools (and IMHO, feels like a big hammer).
