 Replying to [comment:7 sysrqb]:
 > Actually I'm not sure. If CentOS ships glibc 2.17, then I'm not sure
 which Debian version we'll use. Jessie hits EOL this June, and Stretch
 shipped 2.24. Version 2.24 only added 9 new symbols since 2.17 and zero
 symbols were removed, so that's probably okay? Buster has version 2.28,
 and that lost 5 symbols since 2.17. I wonder if it'll still work.

 Yes, that's one of the big problems which is why the title was saying
 Debian Jessie and not Buster: it's not even clear that CentOS 7 would work
 with Jessie out of the box and, given our past experiences, I doubt this
 will play well with Debian Buster.
