[Borgbackup] borg 1.1.9 crashes on SL6 due to old glibc 2.12

[Giorgio Pintaudi]

Hello to everybody!
I am PhD student currently developing the DAQ software for our 
experiment (experimental particle physics). We need to continuously 
backup our data to a remote server and the data, once backed up to the 
server, has to be deleted on the local DAQ PC to make space for new data.

I am trying to use borgbackup but I have encountered an error that I 
wasn't able to solve by myself. The problem is that the remote server is 
running an old version of Scientific Linux 6.10 (very similar to CentOS 
6). Whenever I try to initialize a repository I get the error:

    $ borg init --e none ./borgtest
    Remote: FATAL: this Python was compiled for a too old (g)libc and
    misses required functionality.

The glibc version on the remote server is:

    $ rpm -q glibc
    glibc-2.12-1.212.el6.x86_64
    glibc-2.12-1.212.el6.i686

What do you think is the best way to make borg work on the server? *Note 
that I don't have root access to the server.*
My ultimate goal would be to completely control the backups on the 
server using borg on the local DAQ computer.
Some useful info:

  * Scientific Linux 6.10
  * Python 3.5.1
  * glibc 2.12
  * borg 1.1.9
  * gcc 6.3.1

Thank you
Giorgio
