Use of GLIBC 2.29 prevents pre-builds from being usable

[ppissanetzky]

In 7.1.4, something changed and the prebuild is using the symbol 'log' from GLIBC_2.29 which is not available in current LTS Debian releases. In 7.1.2, that symbol came from GLIBC_2.2.5.

I was able to install 7.1.2 prebuilds in a container running lts-buster, but not 7.1.4

During install, this is what the error looks like:

prebuild-install WARN install /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/node/app/node_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better_sqlite3.node)

Maybe you could add 'ubuntu-lts' to the OS matrix when building.

This seems related to #403

Are you sure ubuntu-lts is a valid environment label? I don't see anything like that in this documentation.

Really suffering from this issue too, slows docker builds so much...

Tried different docker node images (12,14,16 - ubuntu, debian) some of them are building from source (1min), some fail because of build environment not set up.

But most of all I would like to have prebuilts available for alpine, issue #619

I think if you build on 18.04 it should fix it? Label ubuntu-18.04, ubuntu-latest now builds on 20.04
