b77d5ad59fb9f3f26d919ee6c33ae732382de504 build: Disallow dynamic linking against c++ library (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Closes: #17525. Taken over from #17531.
Debian 8 (Jessie) has:
- g++ version 4.9.2
- libc version 2.19
CentOS 7 has:
- g++ version 4.8.5
- libc version 2.17
Ubuntu 16.04.4 (Xenial, oldest supported Ubuntu) has:
- g++ version 5.3.1
- libc version 2.23.0
Taking the minimum of these as our target. According to [GNU ABI document](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html) this corresponds to:
- GCC 4.8.5: GCC_4.8.0
- (glibc) GLIBC_2_17
This also contains a (long needed) commit to disallow dynamic linking to stdc++, as our releases statically link against that.
