 ## Pending
 
 - Upgrade to Ninja 1.12.1 from 1.11.1 specifically to fix <https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/829>
-- Use Ninja download on Linux rather than system-installed Ninja so the version is consistent, especially for old dockcross-based containers.
+- Provide and download ninja-build static binaries on Linx since system-installed Ninja versions are unpredictable and Ninja-provided binaries are linked to recent glibc versions.
+- (To be removed) Use Ninja download on Linux rather than system-installed Ninja so the version is consistent, especially for old dockcross-based containers.
