almost everything in a system with a 2.4 kernel will now be out of
date, and inadequate for building current kernels (e.g. gcc too
old), let alone current LFS systems.

Especially when dealing with NPTL rather than linuxthreads.
I remmeber using slackware 8.1 back when 2.6 came out and I would build a 2.6 kernel and run it and build LFS without issue.
Good ole days!

It was LFS 6 when we moved to 2.6. LFS 5.1.1 was the last using 2.4 and linuxthreads. We have an LFS Technology Preview livecd which was showing off some new things. I have it here:
