Description

We upgraded our internal protoc version, and now can't build on RHEL6.

I get this build error:

2018-04-05 08:15:21.929278 [ERROR] PROTOC FAILED: ... /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

See https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/4109

And this has come up before in https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/3718

Looks like we need to be on 3.4.0, unless there's a compelling reason to be on something newer? Maybe roll back all the way to 3.3.0 which is what we were on before... was there a specific bug we needed to get addressed?
