It works fine on local Mac OS, perhaps something related to nix env?

@iquerejeta @abakst Any suggestion on how to solve this?

rust code depends on a specific glibc version which was not present on the VM where I compiled it apparently. Bumping the VM's version to 21.10 fixed the issue, as well as explicitly installing a glibc 2.32 on earlier Ubuntu versions. Perhaps there's a way to ensure the right version is installed trough shell.nix?
We should run CI as a matrix build across various OSes to catch those issues.
