GLIBC version not support

[LGTM-but-NY]

Bug Report

Describe the bug

The postgrestools CLI binary requires GLIBC 2.32-2.39, but fails on systems with older GLIBC versions (like Ubuntu 20.04 LTS which uses GLIBC 2.31). This makes the tool unusable on many stable Linux distributions.

To Reproduce

1. Install postgrestools on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
2. Run postgrestools init
3. Get GLIBC version errors:

postgrestools: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found
postgrestools: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found
postgrestools: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found
postgrestools: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found

Expected behavior

• Tool should either support older GLIBC versions
• Or provide a JavaScript fallback version
• Or clearly document minimum GLIBC version requirements

System information

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
• GLIBC Version: 2.31
• Node.js Version: v22.14.0
• Package Manager: pnpm 10.8.0

Additional context

Many production/enterprise environments run on LTS distributions with older GLIBC versions for stability. Consider:

1. Building binaries targeting older GLIBC versions
2. Providing a pure JavaScript alternative
3. Publishing pre-built binaries for different GLIBC versions

Current workaround is to upgrade GLIBC, but this isn't always possible in production environments.

Hey, thanks for reporting! We are aware of this issue and it will be fixed with the next releases of postgrestools.

Hey @RoadToDev101, this will be a tricky thing to solve because we have a few upstream dependencies.

We now use the Ubuntu-22.04 runners to build our binaries, but that only gets us down to glibc 2.35.

I was unable to build on ubuntu-20.04 because the of the upstream deps, so we'll have to debug a bit further. 👍
