Not it doesn't depends on the latest kernel. It depends on the latest kernel *headers* which are provided by linux-libc-dev. > Because many embedded armhf devices use older kernels, 4.1 , 4.4 ... so on > , it depends on BSP what you can get from the HW vendor.

Yes, that's something known. libc6 requires at least a 3.2 kernel on most architectures, and 2.6.32 on i386 and amd64. > So they have no linux-libc-dev (>= 4.9.18-1) You can install linux-libc-dev (>= 4.9.18-1) even if you're embedded device uses a 4.1 or 4.4 kernel. It's provided in the Debian archive. > So they cant install libc6-dev (2.24-10) > So actually they can't develop. Please try to install libc6-dev and linux-libc-dev from stretch or sid. If it fails to install, please provide the error message from apt, aptitude or dpkg showing the issue. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
