That bundle that I created from the binaries of the flatpak-sdk tries to use its own glibc which is also included on the bundle. Actually you can even run it on distros that don't ship glibc like Alpine.

However, the version of glibc bundled was built with a requirement of Linux kernel >= 3.2, so as long as you have kernel 3.2 or newer it should work (in theory). If you have an older version of the kernel then it won't work. But that is really really ancient. I'm checking that Linux 3.2 was released in 2012!

Glad to know that it helped somehow.

BTW, in case you find interesting this:
- When you invoke the generate-bundle script you can tell it if it should try to bundle everything (even glibc and the graphics drivers) by passing '--syslibs=bundle-all' or if it should try to only bundle what is not shipped in the system (so only webkit and some library built outside of the standard system paths if webkit links with it) and generate a install script for the needed system packages by passing '--syslibs=generate-install-script' (currently that only works on .deb based distros)
