Mesa drivers problem and GLIBC version not found (wrong version)

[TheMenko]

Describe the bug

Running some software that uses gpu drivers (mesa) throws and issue version `GLIBC_2.38' not found.
Mesa version is 23.1.9 (current unstable)
ldd --version output is ldd (GNU libc) 2.38
It appears by error messages that nix is using the older glibc, 2.37 (current stable)
There were previous issues like this and only fix they had is to unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH from env,
however running env | grep LD doesn't output anything.

part of the output when running vulkaninfo --summary:

$ vulkaninfo --summary
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /nix/store/whypqfa83z4bsn43n4byvmw80n4mg3r8-glibc-2.37-45/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/0lfnrz6nq5myv787cih78knzaqy9z9fc-mesa-23.1.9-drivers/lib/libvulkan_dzn.so)

In my configuration.nix file i have the following set:

boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ];
environment.variables.AMD_VULKAN_ICD = "RADV";
hardware.opengl = {
    enable = true;
    package = unstable.mesa.drivers;
    driSupport32Bit = true;
    driSupport = true;
};

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run vulkaninfo

Expected behavior

No glibc errors, shows output of vulkaninfo

Yes, unfortunately mesa is prone to issues when you mix versions, i.e. running packages from (very) different versions of nixpkgs that the NixOS version.

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : vkCreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /build/source/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:677:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

I'm using the exact same system flake (there are minor differences, where a couple modules are present on one, but not the other) on another pc and vulkan works there.
The machine where everything works has a dgpu (Radeon 6800).
The machine where I have this issue only has an igpu (Ryzen 5800H wth Radeon).
Both have the amdgpu driver enabled.

The overall system flake is also the same. Literally the same commit

[nix-shell:~]$ nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"
 - system: `"x86_64-linux"`
 - host os: `Linux 6.1.64, NixOS, 23.11 (Tapir), 23.11.20231202.933d7dc`
 - multi-user?: `yes`
 - sandbox: `yes`
 - version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.18.1`
 - channels(root): `"nixos-23.05"`
 - nixpkgs: `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos`

(I at the moment don't actually know how I update the channel to 23.11. I need to look into that.)

Edit: I found the difference of the channel to actually be the issue.
After I updated also the root channel to 23.11 the issue solved itself.

For reference, a single nixpkgs commit only has a single glibc (version). And stable releases never do major glibc upgrades (like GLIBC_2.38 to something else).
