So glibc in general should be fine, but for the kernel version we should
target our LTS version or what we specify as baseline in our glibc package?
To be cautious for upgrades but stay recent, I've been selecting the
previously packaged linux-lts version.
So e.g. currently we've got linux-lts 6.12 in core; the previous major
release of linux-lts was 6.6.
On the glibc side, I'd also recommend selecting the previously packaged
version for compatibility. At the moment we package 2.41, and the
previous packaged version was 2.40.
So I would recommend at the current point in time, we specify a target
of: `native-linux.6.6-gnu.2.40`.
A couple of years ago I brought up if we should formalise this via some
sort of exposed variable in makepkg; it might be worth bringing this up
again?
Also FYI zig can take a kernel version range. e.g. zig build
-Dtarget=native-linux.4.4...6.6-gnu.2.39
I'm not suggesting that we set a maximum target version.
