If you take the address of a local variable and pass the resulting pointer to another function, the compiler will generate a call to __stack_chk_fail, which lives in glibc. At build time, linking against glibc is required so that this symbol receives its proper version, otherwise the resulting binary is invalid and may not be compatible with future glibc versions.
