Description

We need to add a native library load check with a helpful error message if it fails to load due to a too old glibc or similar reason, and disable the unit test if the native library fails to load.

/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32'

In this case a Debian test VM has "Debian GLIBC 2.31-13+deb11u6" installed, which is too old.
