Support Older GLibc 2.26 (Amazon Linux 2)

[AlJohri]

Checks

• I ran q doctor in the affected command line session and it didn't resolve my issue
• I ran q restart and it didn't resolve my issue
• I searched the discussions in this repo and there are no duplicates of my issue

Expected behaviour

I am trying to setup Amazon Q using ssh my remote machine (cloud desktop) via these instructions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/command-line-autocomplete-ssh.html

Actual behaviour

I run into the following error when I run the install.sh script:

❯ ./q/install.sh
/home/aljohri/.local/bin/q: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/aljohri/.local/bin/q)

/home/aljohri/.local/bin/q: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /home/aljohri/.local/bin/q)

We are working on bring support for the CLI to AL2 and non-glibc based distros. We expect to support these very soon but no exact date yet.

Hey @grant0417, any updates on when this might be supported?
