Backtsory:
I have updated the whole Yocto from Dunfell to Kirkstone, and the normal images are working as expected. We are using commonapi version 3.1.12.4 and for some reasons we cannot update it.
But in SDK, we are using commonapi version 3.1.12.4, it was compatible with GLIBC 2.31 (kirkstone), but it is not compatible with new GLIBC 2.35 (kirkstone). This is the error that I am facing.
- nothing provides libpthread.so.0 needed by nativesdk-capicxx-core-3.1.12.4-r0.x86_64_nativesdk
- nothing provides libdl.so.2 needed by nativesdk-capicxx-core-3.1.12.4-r0.x86_64_nativesdk

As can be seen, problem is with libdl, libc, and libpthread. Now, they GLIBC is saying that their changes are backward compatible, hence, I am sure we can make these new so files from GLIBC 2.35 work with older commonapi which needs GLIBC 2.31.
Now, I can ignore this error on the nativesdk-capicxx-core itself by either using INSANE_SKIP:${PN} += "file-rdeps" or do_package_qa[noexec] = "1" and it gets built even though the so files are not there. It creates an RPM file that is later used for the SDK.
But when creating SDK, I cannot ignore this with any variable that is workable on the target image.
I have tried to edit ELF files of this recipe and I was able to get rid of libpthread.so.0 and libdl.so.2, but all others (which are with GLIBC title) are needed by another .so file name eclipse_1605.so. Hence, it is nearly impossible for me to ignore this because apparently DNF checks for all the dependencies before making an SDK. I was able to remove the dependencies from ELF file but I do not even think that removing dependencies from the SO files will work.
Following are the commands that is being used and they work to resolve 2 error out of 8.

Also, here is the objdump file of eclipse_1605.so file so know that there are some sort of marker inside the file too.

I have following questions:
Is there any way to tell DNF to not look for dependencies in SDK?
Can we even ignore dependencies in SDK?
What if I make another folder inside /lib/ puts the required dependencies from older version of GLIBC, edit the ld.so.conf file in /etc and put the new path there. It will make a conflict later on though because then packages that requires new GLIBC will also be looking into that folder and not just commonapi alone.
Is there any way in general for us to tell one particular ELF file or package to only look for your dependencies in a particular folder rather than /lib?
I have also tried to edit the .spec file of RPM but the dependencies are being read from inside SO and ELF files and not the .spec file
