Yes, this is a really annoying issue on RHEL, which includes many supercomputers.

Hi,

The 7.8 RC1 status page [1] states RC1 requires glibc 2.15, and that
RC2 will support glibc 2.13 to target Debian 7. CentOS 6 packages
glibc 2.12 and this will be the glibc version in the CentOS 6
lifetime.

Is there a possibility of stretching lower bounded support in RC2 down
to glibc 2.12? This would allow all CentOS users using any of the 6.*
releases to use 7.8, I think.
