You need to use an explicit invocation of the dynamic linker, so something like this:

/home/glibc/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --library-path /home/glibc/lib /usr/bin/python

(But the fact that the GLIBC_2.4 symbol version is not available suggests that something is very wrong with the new glibc, or it is actually not very new at all, predating glibc 2.4.)

GLIBC >=2.39 python container?
Ubuntu 24.04 has glibc 2.40. use it as your base image . Debian Trixie also, but Trixie is currently in "testing". More on reddit.com

GLIBC issue
I already resolved my situation by docker. Currently, I'm building a multiple arch application on docker by official python image, then I'm able to downgrade OS version to make GLIBC compatible, but downgrade python version also. More on github.com

r/Python on Reddit: GLIBC >=2.39 python container?
January 19, 2025 -

In short, a django backend needs to run an arm64 binary file, interaction works on host with no problems.

Right now I'm building the django container from python:latest, which has glibc 2.36, but the binary has 2.39 dependencies.

Wolfi: A Small glibc-Based Python Container Base | by Brendan Dalpe | Medium
July 24, 2025 - The Wolfi Linux base image solves this: it’s tiny (the wolfi-base image is only a few MB) and uses glibc. That means you get Alpine-like slimness with glibc compatibility — speeding up your Python builds and avoiding the need to add compilers or build-essential just to pip install packages.

What version of glibc is Python using?
The module is currently written in pure > Python, and the comment "Note: Please keep this module compatible to > Python 1.5.2" would appear to rule out the use of ctypes to call the > glibc function. Last I heard, there was a standing policy to avoid using ctypes from within the standard library.
