  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,
