Debarshi Ray aeb5d8ec1a test/system: Test a container with an old forward incompatible runtime ... Commit ae43560d45 had added a test with a similar intention. When the test suite is run on a Fedora Rawhide host, it tests whether the containers for the two previous stable Fedora releases start or not. Fedora N-2 reaches End of Life 4 weeks after Fedora N is released [1]. So, testing the containers for Fedora Rawhide and the two previous stable releases on a Fedora Rawhide host is a decent test of general backwards compatibility. However, as seen recently [2], this isn't enough to catch some known ABI compatibility issues [3,4]. These involve toolbox binaries built on hosts with newer toolchains that aren't meant to be run against containers with older runtimes. A targeted test is needed to defend against these scenarios. The fedora-toolbox:34 image has glibc-2.33, which is old enough to be unable to run binaries compiled on Fedora 35 with glibc-2.34 and newer.
