Re: Trying to build SBCL 2.6.0 docker image on trixie

Thanks!  I'm looking at the code in the template and there are three 
architectures, and for each a specific binary version to use as the host 
SBCL:

1. `armhf` `SBCL_BINARY_VERSION=1.4.1`
2. `arm64` `SBCL_BINARY_VERSION=1.4.2`
3. `amd64` `SBCL_BINARY_VERSION=1.5.5` Comment says "Limit to 1.5.5 
because that's when the glibc version used to build was bumped"

Are you able to recommend more sensible versions to use?

Looks like 1.5.5 is not bad, since I'm able to build on the linux/amd64 
host, but can't build either on the Mac.

Unfortunately, there's no explanation for the original 
`SBCL_BINARY_VERSION` choices nor any guidance in how to update them.

Thanks again,
R
