[Bug 1790966] [NEW] Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

[Maarten Fonville]

Public bug reported:

Electron apps (like Atom) give a segfault when trying to start them on Ubuntu Cosmic.
Apparently this is related to a certain commit that is part of glibc 2.28.

Could the workaround as e.g. Arch has implemented also be applied to
Ubuntu, otherwise many pre-compiled applications will not work when
Cosmic will be released.
