Have you looked into the available information? This page, for
example,
https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/glibc/
has a list of glibc versions with notes on backward compatibility.
Probably not enough, but it’s a start.
That page also sounds interesting (“Running new applications on old
glibc”):

Best,
Arthur
