127 errors are usually due to mismatched APIs. This probably means
something was upgraded that broke existing compatibility without rebuilding
the packages that rely on it.

protoc is from the protobuf3 package and it refers to
libabsl_die_if_null.so.2508.0.0 from the absel-cpp package. However,
the 2508.0.0 in the filename tells me it is trying to reference the
20250814.0 version from August of 2025. It's now on 20260817.0 from August
2026.

You should just need to rebuild protobuf3 (so it can properly link to the
newer absel-cpp) to get the protoc command to work. Hopefully that will be
enough to get the build to complete.
