[Bug]: rules_nodejs installs prebuilt node binary which won't run without the proper shared libc.so version

[srago]

What happened?

Trying to use bazel to build buildbarn's bb-storage project on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, the build fails because aspect_rules_js installs a rules_nodejs version that is looking for libc.so.6 from glibc version 2.28:

$ ldd rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node
rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe5af95000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f64b9237000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f64b8eae000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f64b8b10000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f64b88f8000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f64b86d9000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f64b82e8000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f64b943b000)

This version of Ubuntu uses glibc version 2.27:
$ ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 3 2022 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.27.so

So the node binary can't run:
$ rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node
rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node)

The problem is that the node binary is pre-built:
$ ls -l rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sar sar 91342624 Jul 8 10:12 rules_nodejs~~node~nodejs_linux_amd64/bin/nodejs/bin/node

The date on the node binary is from July. It's December now. Bazel avoids problems like this by building all dependencies from source. If the projects took this approach, node would have been built with the native libraries on my Ubuntu system and would have avoided this failure case.

Note that I was able to work around this problem by pinning the version of node to one that happened to be built with the same glibc version as installed on my system:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_nodejs", version = "6.3.0")
node = use_extension("@rules_nodejs//nodejs:extensions.bzl", "node", dev_dependency = True)
node.toolchain(node_version = "16.20.2")

(I determined this workaround by trial and error)
