I'm sorry. We have VMs with an older version of Debian for building,
but those don't provide sufficiently recent build tools (cmake, git,
ninja build system, ... I believe that CMake was the main blocker, but
I'm no longer absolutely sure).
By far the easiest solution was to switch from Debian 8 to 9 (or
something like that, I should check the exact numbers) and you might
be the first one bringing the issue up. I was aware that switching to
a newer Debian version might have caused compatibility issues with
RHEL / CentOS. (Do you happen to have some matrix of glibc versions on
RHEL / CentOS?)

Do you have trouble creating a new account on the wiki?
