c33b199456e57d83c21eacd36d3c56d0a123b0d0 guix: Bump glibc and linux-headers (Carl Dong)
65363a1bd8b886f5aef5fbc97ca88c9c9b243b21 guix: Rebase on 95aca2991b (1.2.0-12.dffc918) (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
On bumping the time-machine:
```
A few changes which are useful for us:
1. 'gnu: cross-gcc-arguments: Enable 128 bit long double for POWER9.' is
now merged into master.
2. gnutls is bumped to 3.6.15 and the temporal test failure in
status-request-revoked is fixed. Note that this does not fix the case
where one has installed Guix v1.2.0 and is running a substitute-less
bootstrap build, since the `guix time-machine` command itself has a
dependency on gnutls v3.6.12 (the one with the broken test) and will
thus try to build it before attempting to jump forwards in time. This
does however, mean that those who build a version of Guix that also
contains this fix will not go backwards in time to build the broken
gnutls v3.6.12.
```
On bumping the rest:
```
Bump glibc and linux-headers to match those of our Gitian counterparts.
We also require a glibc >= 2.28 for the test-symbol-check scripts to
work properly.
The default BASE-GCC-FOR-LIBC also has to be bumped since glibc 2.31
requires a gcc >= 6.2
```
This is a prerequisite for #20980

ACK c33b199456e57d83c21eacd36d3c56d0a123b0d0 - I think going ahead with this now and to sycn back up to gitian is fine. It will also unblock #20980. Potential code signing related issues can be sorted out in #21239 and later PRs.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
