glibc is version 2.34 for Rocky Linux 9. Upgrading it is not an option. You will need to work with the software vendor to determine if that glibc version is actually needed and if it’s possible to use 2.34 at a minimum. Answer from label on forums.rockylinux.org

r/linux4noobs on Reddit: Running into a version `GLIBC_2.38' not found error
April 7, 2024 -
What the title says. I'm trying to run a program, and even after installing its dependencies (sdl2, freetype, harfbuzz, onnxruntime, darling) and restarting the system (I know most of the time it doesn't need, but just in case) it keeps saying the same issue.
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found
What I've seen after searching for a bit is that either I have to build the program myself, or use a different version of linux. I MIGHT be ok, since I was planning to make a new installation when Kubuntu 24.04 releases eventually (I mean, it WILL release, right???) but I really want to give this a try beforehand.
Running a Kubuntu 22.04 distro that updated itself from a 20.04 one. Hardware is full amd and decent enough? I don't think it affects this issue in specific.

The program is too new for the distro. You're correct not to just "upgrade glibc". This is an integral part of the OS and difficult/impossible to do reliably. You could try running the program in a Distrobox using a distro which has a newer glibc, probably Fedora or Arch will work. You could wait until Kubu 24.04 and try there. It's already April so you could probably install the beta now and update to the full version when it comes out in a few weeks.

lovely how this is still an issue a year later on debian 12 i think this is going to be what makes me switch to a rolling release distro like arch lol

Not on Debian stable. But you could run another distro's userspace (one that has a sufficiently new glibc) in a container or chroot. More on reddit.com

r/debian on Reddit: How do i get a newer version of glibc? (2.38 or above?)
June 9, 2024 -
Basically im trying to run a game but it requires at least glibc 2.38 but it seems debian only offers 2.36 at the moment. Any way i can get a newer vesion of it?
EDIT: ended up just downloading the windows version of the game and running it with wine, im an idiot and thought i was having a problem with the sound when i first downloaded, that's why i tried the linux binary, but when i ran it with wine again i found out that the game came muted by default and that i had to press + to get the volume up

Have a look at Distrobox. You can run Arch or whatever inside a docker/podman container and use that for the game you need, but still have a stable Debian base system for everything else.

How to update to glibc 2.38? - Puppy Linux Discussion Forum
Like Oscar says, you cannot risk trying to do an install while running in the very same Puppy.....for the simple reason that you risk changing the very dependencies you need for the installer tools to function and complete their task. I'm not entirely sure quite how battleshooter - one very clever lass! - constructed her glibc-2.20 upgrade for Saluki/Carolina.

I've got this error with buildroot-2022.11 when executing make.
Ubuntu 20.04 - added this repo as described in the link
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6
It automatically installed 2.35 for me.

In my case, replace FROM go:1.21 with FROM go:1.21.0-bullseye (docker) or try tinkering there.
