v1.0.0 doesn't work on Ubuntu 18

[zhanyong-wan]

I'm upgrading Pinterest's thrift repo to thriftcheck 1.0.0. However the binary failed with

.../.thriftcheck_cache/thriftcheck-1.0.0: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /mnt/jenkins/workspace/github_schemas-test/.thriftcheck_cache/thriftcheck-1.0.0)
.../.thriftcheck_cache/thriftcheck-1.0.0: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /mnt/jenkins/workspace/github_schemas-test/.thriftcheck_cache/thriftcheck-1.0.0)

ldd --version shows that our Jenkins worker has

 ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1.6) 2.27

It would be great to statically link with GLIBC so that the generated binary doesn't depend on the GLIBC version on the user's machine.

This might be related to CGO, which we could disable like this:

diff --git i/.goreleaser.yml w/.goreleaser.yml
index 86aa3d0..f13b53f 100644
--- i/.goreleaser.yml
+++ w/.goreleaser.yml

     ldflags:

I don't have an Ubuntu environment handy at the moment to try it myself, but we probably either need to do the above or find some other linker flag to adjust to request static GLIBC linking.

I just built and released v1.0.1 with a more recent Go tool chain. That probably won't make a difference here, but it's worth checking if it helps move toward a resolution.
