Comment(by gespinasse):
Don't confuse requirement on the host (building machine) and for the
target (the code you will run). You perfectly could build from debian-v5
(lenny) which has a 2.6.26 kernel and an old udev. The new compiled udev
will only run when you boot the new kernel.
You will not be able to build on a machine/kernel with --enable-kernel set
to higher number than the running kernel.
RH-5/Centos-5 has a default 2.6.18 kernel. I just tested my build system
on a Centos-5.5 machine with se-linux enabled and just had a few binutils
tests errors more than in more recent distribs.
2.6.18, 2.6.26 or 2.6.32 have sense. It all depend how much LFS book
enforce to use at least a /not too old/mostly recent/recent/in the edge/
kernel.
Fedora is know to be in the edge and is renewed every six months.
In my mind, 2.6.32 would be qualified as mostly recent but how many linux
machines already run that kernel?
A year ago, the linux world probably had far less than 1% of machines with
that kernel (that was 40 days after that version release).
