I've seen several earlier threads on variants of this problem, but none of the solutions appear to work any more as they were for older versions of v8, or because depot_tools has moved on, or both.
I need to build v8 5.9 for Centos 6. The big problem is that Centos 6 uses glibc 2.12, which is quite ancient, and all of the tools that are downloaded by the v8 build process are built using newer versions of glibc. This includes gn and clang in particular, but also the binutils tools. About the only thing that does work as expected is gclient. The closest I've gotten so far is attempting to use the older gyp method, which at least bypasses gn. I believe I could also build gn for Centos 6, although it's challenging. I can also request it not to use the built-in clang - the Centos 6 image I am using does have gcc 4.8.2 installed which should be good enough. However when not using clang, it is also necessary to skip the built-in sysroot. When I do that, I get errors about glib-2.0, gmodule-2.0, and other packages I don't recognize not being available. Basically I'm wondering if there are any ways forward, in particular if anyone has successfully traveled this road already. Is v8 no longer officially supported for Centos / Red Hat 6? Are there any ways to get the older versions of the tools from days when v8 was built for Centos 6? (I assume those days existed at some point...)
