Not so much `binaries', more `glibc'. (See the definition of DL_SYSDEP_OSCHECK in glibc-*/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-osinfo.h.) You can fix it by recompiling/reinstalling glibc with the same options as the distro used, and specifying an earlier kernel version in the --enable-kernel= configure option. Of course, you can't run glibc 2.5 on kernel 2.4.x at all if you want multithreading, because NPTL is the only threading system supported in that release, and NPTL requires kernel 2.6 (or a patched 2.4). (Often you can get away with building an older glibc; you can run binaries compiled against glibc 2.4 and 2.5 on glibc 2.3.[56], as comparatively few existing symbols received new versions in those releases. There were a good few new symbols, though... but in practice I'd say `upgrade'. There are precious few reasons to run a 2.4 kernel these days.) -- `He accused the FSF of being "something of a hypocrit", which shows that he neither understands hypocrisy nor can spell.' --- jimmybgood ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
