I'm guessing it has to do with building glibc against headers for a new kernel, but not actually running that kernel. And more specifically, what happens when software tries to use features which glibc claims to support, but the running kernel doesn't. Note how in the glibc build, we pass --enable-kernel=2.6.22.5, which configures it with the assumption that it will never need to run on an older kernel than 2.6.22.5 (which is of course the minimum version listed in Host System Requirements).
