[PySide] ARM libc requirements

[Cristián Maureira-Fredes]

Hello Cristoph,

The 6.8.0 libc version was indeed a mistake,
we should have done those releases for 6.8.x
from Ubuntu 24.04 https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-124630
and we were using Debian 11.

Considering that's a Qt/C++ requirement,
if you were to make an official request, that would
need to be to the development mailing list of
the Qt Project
https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development

But I don't think it's something that can be easily
changed for the future releases.

It's always tricky with software on "stable"
distributions, because they stay behind for stability
purposes, and trying to use "the latest version"
of some specific is not compatible in many situation,
and I'm afraid PySide will be one of those.

Cheers
