@skevetter in #195 (comment), you said:

The application is compiled with CGO_ENABLED, so there may be some work involved to unlink that dependency.

Indeed, CONTRIBUTING.md says to build with CGO_ENABLED=0:

$ `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags "-s -w" -o devpod-cli`

hack/dev_devpod_pro.sh does the same unless 'race detector' is requested:

if [[ $RACE == "yes" ]]; then
    echo "Building devpod with race detector"
    CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -ldflags "-s -w" -tags profile -race -o devpod-cli
else
    CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags "-s -w" -tags profile -o devpod-cli
fi

I have no idea what 'sidecar' means here, but it is being built the same way in .github/actions/build-cli/action.yml:

steps:
  - name: build sidecar CLI (Linux/macOS)
    run: |
      ... CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags "-s -w ..." -X

On the other hand, in .goreleaser.yml the build for devpod-linux confusingly mentions both values of CGO_ENABLED:

hooks:
  pre:
    - sh -c 'CGO_ENABLED=1 go ...'
ldflags:
  - -s -w
env:
  - CGO_ENABLED=0

When I build with CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags "-s -w" and scp ./devpod to the box configured into the ssh provider, I no longer see the "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.38 not found" error.

(I need to copy the agent manually because I am using the forked ssh provider, an agent injection with it is broken: #224.)

It would be nice if the repository was configured in such a way that $ go build gets GO_ENABLED and ldflags configured implicitly...
