What is compat glibc?
The compat-glibc package is included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, but it is not a runtime package and therefore not required for running anything. This allows compiling and linking packages to run in older Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions (using compat-gcc-* against those headers and libraries).

I have isolated the problem to the glibc version, and have also tried it on CentOS 8, which uses glibc 2.28.
What’s the difference between glibc 2.14 and 2.15?
In short, glibc is backward-compatible, not forward-compatible. There are only minor binary compatibility issues between glibc 2.14 and glibc 2.15 according to the report from the Linux upstream tracker. The report is generated by the abi-compliance-checker and abi-tracker tools.
What should I do after CentOS 7 is EoL?
I’m a new maintainer for an old codebase written in C++, targeting the C++0x standard, with several gcc and g++ dependencies in the code. I’m concerned about keeping the dependencies of this program patched after CentOS 7 is EOL. Granted, that’s 4 years away, but it’s better to plan…
Is the glibc 2.15 binary backward compatible?
Running a binary that was built for a newer glibc (e.g. 2.15, like the one that fails) on a system with an older glibc will probably not work. In short, glibc is backward-compatible, not forward-compatible.
