Probably glibc is dependent on functionality (syscalls and kernel
interfaces) only available in the newer kernels.  I doubt it's possible
to lower that requirement, without substantial rewrite, or by losing
some functionality that userland software now depends on.

Maybe some other libc could more easily do this, perhaps dietlibc?  That
would still require recompilation of binaries though I think?  Then it
makes more sense to just rebuild for kfreebsd natively.

Or otherwise hope that FreeBSD linuxulator can add support newer
syscalls of 2.6.32 and later.
