[Clusterusers] glibc version on fly, cluster

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

Well really the issue is that we're still running ROCKS, and we're a
version behind... but ROCKS seems to have fallen behind and a new
release hasn't come out in almost two years. I think it's time to move
to something else and probably entirely rebuild the cluster. The latest
version of ROCKS is based on CentOS 6.6, which is already out of support
and doesn't have a new glibc either.

I will do some research, ask my HPC colleagues what they're running
these days, and ask the ROCKS list what's up - I think they were
NFS-funded and, well...

That said, we should figure out an interim solution. I shall think about
this more next week.
