I have only one failure with --enable-kernel=2.6.5, glibc-2.11.3 and i486
build.
[/usr/src/glibc-build/elf/check-localplt.out] Error 1
This happen on any host I build with different kernel
2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 (centos-5.5)
2.6.26-2-686 (debian-5 lenny)
2.6.27.57 (gentoo selfcompiled kernel)
2.6.32-26-generic (ubuntu-10.04)
I think that would be a bad idea to require a kernel above 2.6.32, due to
the numerous distrib using this kernel flavour.
