Hi Ricardo, > Does this work even though the official minimum kernel version for glibc > 2.26 is 3.2.0? I think so, BUT the patchset looks pretty similar to what would happen if you specified the configure flag except for one spot. So maybe Nix found out some ill effects. The most worrying part

Re: glibc 2.26 refuses to run on CentOS 6.8

Hi Ricardo, sorry to hear about those problems. Can you try just passing --enable-kernel=2.6.32 to "configure" of glibc instead? It should set the minimal version without any weird patching. Our glibc/linux in gnu/packages/base.scm specifies --enable-kernel=3.2.0 which we could modify to

glibc 2.26 refuses to run on CentOS 6.8

Hi Guix, I have a bad day. After the upgrade to glibc 2.26 none of the Guix-installed software runs on the HPC cluster running CentOS 6.8. The glibc 2.26 expects a minimum kernel version of 3.x on x86_64, but CentOS 6.8 only comes with a heavily patched 2.6.32. The NixOS developers patch glibc
