In ESXI 6.0 what is the version of the library at '/lib64/libc.so.6'. This would be most helpful if someone could run that and post the info. For example my ESXI 5.5 current has:
GNU C Library vmware release version 2.12.2, by Roland McGrath et al.

Compiled on a Linux 3.0.27 system on 2013-10-21.
Available extensions:
crypt add-on version 2.1 by Michael Glad and others
GNU Libidn by Simon Josefsson
Native POSIX Threads Library by Ulrich Drepper et al
BIND-8.2.3-T5B
libc ABIs: UNIQUE IFUNC
It would be most helpful in determining if upgrading to version 6 would prevent me from having to rewrite some opensource code that uses functions not built into that gcc library. Thanks!
Edit – Had the example posted from my target machine version, not ESXI.
