How to install glibc on BigSur

$ brew install glibc
glibc: Linux is required for this software.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

what is going on?

I know there is another question about that here, which says that it has not been ported, however I guess that state has changed because there are a couple of places around (including home brew page) saying that it should work.

I'm on BigSur / Intel based MBP

including home brew page

If you mean this page, note that it's under linux subdirectory.

The GLIBC currently will fail to configure on anything other than *-linux* or *-gnu*.
