Can docker solve a problem of mismatched C shared libraries?

Question

I am trying to run some haskell code on an ubuntu (18.04) host, which was compiled on my laptop.

host: 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

laptop: 4.14.74-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 5 14:16:52 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The error I get is

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found

After doing some research I learned that this is because my laptop has version 2.28 of glibc installed, but the host only has libc6 2.27.

I did some googling and figured that maybe docker could solve this problem. However, I just created a docker image with the following Dockerfile and it didn't work (same GLIBC_2.28 error)

FROM fpco/stack-build:lts-12.9 as builder

RUN mkdir /opt/build
COPY . /opt/build
RUN cd /opt/build && stack build 

FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN mkdir -p /opt/myapp
WORKDIR /opt/myapp
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
  ca-certificates
COPY --from=builder /opt/build/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux-tinfo6/lts-12.9/8.4.3/bin .
CMD ["/opt/myapp/myapp-exe"]

I'm not sure what to do now. I have a few questions:

• Why am I getting this problem in the first place? I thought I read somewhere that glibc is backwards compatible? (Is glibc the same thing as libc6..?)

• Is there a way to use docker to get around this problem? Could i run my build process inside an ubuntu image? e.g. FROM fcpo/stack-build:lts-12.9 and ubutu:18.04, then later on creating another ubuntu image into which i copy my binary?

• Has anybody else run into this before ? If so did you find a solution (other than just changing operating system?)?
