It is an inconsistency and should be fixed, but I don't see how it could
result in any kind of error, as the Host System Requirements *do* list
2.6.22.5 as the minimum kernel version. Also, LFS 6.3 should work fine,
as package versions for the Host Sys. Reqs. are in fact taken directly
*from* 6.3. If your host system has a kernel older than 2.6.22, it must
not actually be an LFS 6.3 system (or you deviated when building 6.3 and
used an older kernel).
