engines: build Linux binaries in manylinux_2_28 so they run on glibc < 2.38 - #1805

…ld on a glibc above 2.28 Every Linux engine since the first release needed GLIBC_2.38: they were compiled on ubuntu-24.04 (glibc 2.39), and a binary runs only where its build machine's glibc or a newer one is installed. They would not start on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, RHEL/Rocky 9 or Amazon Linux 2023: the official python and node Docker images, most CI and most servers. `axiomcode index` there parsed the whole tree and then failed with "GLIBC_2.38 not found". The compile now runs inside manylinux_2_28 (glibc 2.28, GCC 14) on the same runners, and a new step fails the build if any Linux binary asks for a newer glibc. Built this way the engines need glibc 2.25, link no libstdc++, and run on Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, Rocky 8 and Ubuntu 22.04. The cache key already hashes this file, so no binary built on the old runner is restored. Co-authored-by: axiomcode-bot[bot] <334110751+axiomcode-bot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Every Linux engine binary since the first release needs
GLIBC_2.38, because it is compiled onubuntu-24.04. A binary only runs where the glibc it was built against, or a newer one, is installed. Soaxiomcode indexfails withGLIBC_2.38 not foundafter parsing the tree on:pythonandnodeDocker imagesBoth linux-x64 and linux-arm64 are affected, in 0.1.3, 0.1.6, 0.1.7 and 0.1.8.
