When npm installing couchnode on CentOS 6, the precompiled binary is linked against non-standard versions of GLIBC

When npm installing couchnode on CentOS 6, the precompiled binary is linked against non-standard versions of GLIBC and thus needs to be recompiled for it to work.

Uncaught exception: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by <...>/node_modules/couchbase/build/Release/couchbase_impl.node)
