The main concern of upgrading the build environment is whether the output binaries will depends on a newer libc, which implies whether the binaries will run on older distributions that have old libc.

Upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 would raise the required glibc version from 2.31 to 2.35.
This would drop support for Debian 11 and RHEL 9, RHEL 8 is already unsupported.

Footnotes

  1. RHEL clones like Alma Linux follow similar support schedules

  2. RHEL 10 will release in February
