Gamelift Linux fleet failing to start due to missing GLIBC_2.29 and GLIBCXX_3.4.26

Question

I tried to deploy an AMAZON_LINUX Gamelift fleet, but it fails when activating. When I ssh'd into the EC2 instance and tried to run the game manually, I got these errors:
 
/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /local/game/XXXXX/Binaries/Linux/../../Plugins/GameLiftServerSDK/ThirdParty/GameLiftServerSDK/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libaws-cpp-sdk-gamelift-server.so)
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by /local/game/XXXXX/Binaries/Linux/../../Plugins/GameLiftServerSDK/ThirdParty/GameLiftServerSDK/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libaws-cpp-sdk-gamelift-server.so)

How can I solve them?

Answer

I finally solved it by compiling the GameLift Server SDK on the same EC2 Linux 2 fleet instance instance and downloading the generated libaws-cpp-sdk-gamelift-server.so file. Which makes me wonder why not you, Amazon people, provide a ready built binary for Amazon Linux 2 instances, since it is where we will be deploying the games if we use GameLift?

For anyone wanting to do the same process, here are some useful links:
