      While the installer binary is statically linked, the terraform binaries shipped with it are dynamically linked.

      This could give issues when running the installer on Linux and depending on the GLIBC version the specific Linux distribution has installed. It becomes a risk when switching the base image of the builders from ubi8 to ubi9 and trying to run the installer in cs8 or rhel8.

      For example, building the installer on cs9 and trying to run it in a cs8 distribution leads to:

      How reproducible:Always

      Steps to Reproduce:{code:none}
      1. Build the installer on cs9
      2. Run the installer on cs8 until the terraform binary are started
      3. Looking at the terrform binary with ldd or file, you can get it is not a statically linked binary and the error above might occur depending on the glibc version you are running on 
      
      

      Actual results:

       

      Expected results:

      The terraform and providers binaries have to be statically linked as well as the installer is.
      

      Additional info:

      This comes from a build of OKD/SCOS that is happening outside of Prow on a cs9-based builder image.
      
      One can use the Dockerfile at images/installer/Dockerfile.ci and replace the builder image with one like https://github.com/okd-project/images/blob/main/okd-builder.Dockerfile
