Base image with just enough to run arbitrary binaries that may require gcc or cc libraries.
These are typically C++ or Rust binaries.
This image is meant to be used as just a base image only. It does not contain any programs that can be run, other than /sbin/ldconfig.
You must bring your own artifacts to use this image, e.g. with a Docker multi-stage build. If you want locale support other than C.UTF-8, you must bring your own locale data as well. This may change in the future based on user feedback.
This image is deprecated. Use the glibc-dynamic image instead which is designed to cover the same use cases.
