74c989398971864afc7098818262ff0b76fbcf71 guix: use glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Build against glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (previously only used for RISC-V), and at the same time, increase our minimum required glibc to 2.27 (2018). This would drop support for Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) & Debian Stretch (9), from the produced release binaries. Compiling from source on those systems may be possible, assuming you can install a recent enough compiler/toolchain etc.
