No, we do a bit better than that.  We look at the built binaries.  If
any of them use the symbol version under development (GLIBC_2.35 in case
of current rawhide), we add a >= dependency on the glibc version used
for building.  During the Fedora 36 cycle, fewer GLIBC_2.35 symbols have
been added, so I don't expect many packages receiving this versioned
dependency that makes downgrades harder.

Thanks,
Florian
