gen_sctp:open(). returns exception error: bad argument - only for Erlang compiled from sources for Docker Image based on Rocky Linux

Question

I prepared some time ago Docker Container Image based on CentOS 7.9 with erlang-otp build 22.3.4.11 from sources - https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/download/OTP-22.3.4.11/otp_src-22.3.4.11.tar.gz. All worked fine - as expected:

Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.7.2.4] [source] [64-bit] [smp:32:32] [ds:32:32:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

Eshell V10.7.2.4  (abort with ^G)
1> gen_sctp:open().
{ok,#Port<0.6>}
2>

Now I'm trying to do the same but on Rocky Linux 8.4/8.5 Docker Image and build the same version - 22.3.4.11 from sources. All were successfully compiled on the same server (as CentOS 7.x based Docker Image) but sctp does not work correctly for Rocky Linux Docker based Image only.

Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.7.2.4] [source] [64-bit] [smp:32:32] [ds:32:32:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

Eshell V10.7.2.4  (abort with ^G)
1> gen_sctp:open().
** exception error: bad argument
     in function  gen_sctp:open/1
        called as gen_sctp:open([])
2>

I trying to test also 22.3.4.23 version and the same error were shown.
I also tried install from Rocky RPM packages yum install erlang.x86_64 - 22.0.7-1.el8 and all working fine.
I would to use own compiled version on Rocky to have easy way to update erlang to newer version.

Please let me know what should I do to fix exception error: bad argument for gen_sctp:open(). for Rocky Linux?
