You will run into problems with a 2.4.0 kernel. But that does not
mean that you have to use HHL 2.0. The kernel source tree is one
thing, the (cross) development toolchain is a different issue, and
the native tools used for the target is yet another story. OK, the
(cross) development toolchain and the native tools are related in
some ways - at least they should use the same versions of shared
libraries, etc.
But you can easily use a more recent kernel source tree while
continuing to use the your current tools - if there is nother reason
to change.

They weren't that important. They were merely at the top. The people
who really run organizations are usually found several levels down,
where it's still possible to get things done.
