From: Yongting Lin <linyongt...@gmail.com> tgkill is a quite old syscall since kernel 2.5.75, but unfortunately glibc doesn't support it before 2.30. Thus some systems fail to compile the latest UserMode Linux.
Here is the compile error I encountered when I tried to compile UML in my system shipped with glibc-2.28.
