+          # See Issue: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59007. Although this issue 
+          # has been fixed in LLVM, the fix will probably not propagate to older versions of Ubuntu and GCC 13.1. 
+          #
+          # Starting with GLIBC version 2.34, the `dn_expand` function, previously found in `libresolv.so`, was moved to `libc.so`. This 
+          # function is used internally by the `getaddrinfo()` system call.
+          #
+          # In our setup (As of December 2024), we are using an Ubuntu 18 Docker image on a newer Ubuntu host. 
+          # However, due to compatibility issues between newer libasan.so in GCC 13.1
+          # and the older Ubuntu image, the linker does not link with `libresolv.so`. 
+          # This results in crashes in `getaddrinfo()` since Ubuntu-18 GLIBC is 2.31.
+          #
+          # This problem does not occur on Ubuntu 22 and newer because GLIBC versions 2.34 
+          # and above include `dn_expand` in `libc.so`, eliminating the dependency on 
+          # `libresolv.so`.
+          #
+          # We can bypass this problem by linking with "resolv" manually until we bump 
+          # our base Linux image to Ubuntu 22.
