Please consider compiling Monit binaries for arm against an older glibc

[George Brooke]

The binaries for Monit 5.27.2 on arm require at least glibc 2.28 while x86 only requires 2.7. Monit 5.27.0 on arm required 2.13.

This causes a problem for older arm platforms - for example industrial arm computers from Moxa use a Debian 9 based OS [1] which has glibc 2.24.

I imagine there are similar issues on any arm platform with a vendor OS image where people might want to add monit from binaries.

We have moved our build machines to Debian 9 for both ARMv7l and AARCH64 … the next release will require glibc 2.24 or later for both ARM platforms.

Thank you, that is much appreciated.
