62e45da94537ffaecc51441896242ef5123106a5 build: remove glibc-back-compat from build system (fanquake)
2ef0accefc1653ea0845683db8256dddf3b55e04 remove --enable-glibc-back-compat from CI and docs (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This removes our glibc backwards compatibility code (glibcxx sanity checks remain), which is [no-longer used for release builds](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22405).
With these changes our minimum required glibc remains at 2.17, as Guix builds [are done with `--disable-thread-local`](d2dd1697ce/contrib/guix/libexec/build.sh (L242)
).
Guix builds:

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt
(GUI) orbin/bitcoind
(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
