According to objdump, we have started to use qsort_r(), and that symbol
requires the GLIBC_2.8 version.  This is definitely not something you
can easily fix, short of upgrading your libc.  (You could, in principle,
write your own library providing that function with the correct version
and preload it.  I suspect that could work.  But that's definitely not
"trivial".)
