Ah - that explains it, thanks. I just saw the big comment at the top of the arch script explaining how changes must be propagated to arch.dist, and assumed someone forgot!
I guess this could bite a few folk though since it detected 2.6 at compile time but 2.4 at runtime (this was on CentOS 5.5/x86_64 BTW).
