All autopkgtests for the newly accepted glibc (2.35-0ubuntu3.2) for jammy have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:
linux-aws-6.2/6.2.0-1007.7~22.04.1 (arm64)
linux-azure-6.2/6.2.0-1007.7~22.04.1 (arm64)
linux-oracle-5.19/5.19.0-1025.28~22.04.1 (arm64)
mysql-8.0/8.0.33-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 (s390x)
ubiquity/22.04.19 (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el)
Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Title:
execute bit is missing on libc.so.6
Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in glibc source package in Jammy:
Fix Committed
Status in glibc source package in Kinetic:
Won't Fix
Status in glibc source package in Lunar:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
[Impact]
Starting with Ubuntu 22.04 the execute bit is no longer set on /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6. This causes trouble for some scripts that try to determine the glibc version by executing this file, for instance the LSF scheduler.
[Proposed fix]
Adjust the build system to chmod the library after the fixperms stage.
This has been fixed in Debian, although it's not easily cherry-
pickable.
[Test plan]
Run the following script:
```
#!/bin/bash
for glibc in `ldconfig -p | grep libc.so.6 | sed 's/.*=>//'`
do
if [ -x "$glibc" ] ; then
$glibc >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
continue
fi
_libcver=`$glibc 2>/dev/null | grep "GNU C Library" | awk '{print $10}' | awk -F. '{print $2}' | sed 's/,//'`
fi
if [ "$_libcver" != "" ] ; then
echo "GLibc minor version is $_libcver"
break
fi
done
if [ "$_libcver" = "" ] ; then
echo "Cannot figure out the GLibc version."
exit 1
fi
```
On Focal, it prints out the following:
GLibc minor version is 31
On Jammy:
Cannot figure out the GLibc version.
Expected:
GLibc minor version is 35
[Regression potential]
This change is fairly minimal, but could expose bugs in codepaths that
were depending on the system version of glibc and were thus far
dormant in Jammy.
