Oh wow, we dropped RHEL/CentOS 6 support a very long time ago for QEMU, and also dropped RHEL-7 last year. FWIW, our platform target policy is set out here: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/about/build-platforms.html Currently RHEL-8 is the oldest RHEL we support since RHEL-7 also dropped out under the rule "Support for the previous major version will be dropped 2 years after the new major version is released" I'm surprised you didn't have to patch lots of other aspects of QEMU, since a system targetting glibc 2.12 would be likely to have a GCC version that we explicitly block use of at build time, as well as other outdated 3rd party libraries we check min versions of in configure.
