In 15.6, SLES updated glibc. When we build against it, it prevents people still on 15.5 or older from using the agent. The 15.5 image used here is not advertised or updated, but is still available. Since glibc is backwards compatible, this should allow any version of SLES 15 to use the agent.

Maybe leave a comment in there to justify why we chose to not use the latest. Future devs will thank us.
