Rescript fails to run with GLIB error

[kohlivarun5]

Thank you for filing! Check list:

• Is it a bug?
  This is something that worked previously, and just broke, presumably due to a change in how the package is build and released

• Concise, focused, friendly issue title & description.

Using rescript build -w now gives the following error, and exits:

./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe)
./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by ./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe)
./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./rescript/linux/ninja.exe)
Failure: ./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe 

• A minimal, reproducible example.
  Use rescript on RHEL7 distribution ?

• OS and browser versions, if relevant.
  RHEL7

• Is it already fixed in master?

Seems an issue introduced in version 10.1.0, as 10.0.1 works fine

This is because of #5626. The problem is that Github is removing support for the Ubuntu 18.04 Github action runners.

See also the discussion in #5834.

Is there an alternative/workaround ? I have ninja available in a systemwide installation. Can that be picked by rescript ?
When I cp the systemwide ninja into ./node_modules/rescript/linux/ninja.exe, we get an error Finished (exit) without any log on what errored

We will revert this change for 10.1.1.
For 11.x, I hope to be able to provide statically linked Linux binaries.

Can you create a release for 10.1.1 ?

[cknitt]

10.1.1 and 10.1.2 have been released with the change reverted. 11.x will provide statically linked Linux binaries.
