It's true, but actually Blender's binaries are compiled against *old* glibc.
Blender 2.36 is linked against glibc 2.2.5, when the latest glibc is 2.3.5
Many people uses updated distros (read they don't use Debian), so why 
not compile against latest libraries?
Personally speaking, if I want use Blender, I have to recompile it 
myself, because official binary releases are *always* linked against 
*old* libraries.
I can't see the reason of linking against such an old library.
