I believe that targeting an older glibc version should not be more complicated than -DGLIBC_COMPAT_LEVEL=0x020205 -Wl,compat=GLIBC_2.2.5 On OSX there is a target platform command line option, and I believe it is the right approach, yet I can't really comment on it.> For an undefined symbol, there is only this form: sym at ver > For a defined symbol, both sym at ver (non-default; sometimes called > hidden) and sym@@ver (default) exist. > > For a defined symbol named sym at ver, it only resolves an undefined > symbol sym at ver. > For a defined symbol named sym@@ver, it resolves both undefined > sym at ver and undefined sym. > > If you have glibc 2.29, there are exp at GLIBC_2.2.5 (non-default) and > exp@@GLIBC_2.29 (default), your 'exp' undefined symbol > will resolve to exp@@GLIBC_2.29 (default) and not work with older glibc. > > If you know that your translation unit does not define 'exp' (usual > case), you can write > > .symver exp,exp at GLIBC_2.2.5 > call exp > or > .symver exp,exp@@@GLIBC_2.2.5 > call exp > > Then the undefined symbol 'exp' will be renamed to 'exp at GLIBC_2.2.5' > and get bound to the old version at link time.

I've tried many variations. Do you know if it is possible after the link, to edit the shared library and replace the dependency on GLIBC 2.29 to GLIBC 2.2.5? Regards, Alexandre

It did partially fix the issue but there is still one problem:
llvm-objdump -sx gives:
Version References:
required from libpthread.so.0:
0x09691a75 0x00 05 GLIBC_2.2.5

So there are still some references to GLIBC_2.29 from libm.
It is in the VERSION_NEED or something similar I think.
Could llvm-strip figure that it can get rid of it?
