The following is from the glibc 2.2 INSTALL file
`--enable-kernel=VERSION'
This option is currently only useful on Linux systems. The
VERSION parameter should have the form X.Y.Z and describes the
smallest version of the Linux kernel the generated library is
expected to support. The higher the VERSION number is, the less
compatibility code is added, and the faster the code gets.
I haven't run into any problems with this at all, but am very curious
as I can't see anyone moving back to an older kernel when the installed
one is 2.2.16. Granted there may be a valid reason.
ie. There isn't a newer patch out for a device someone needs and they
have to go back a version or two (I ran into this with the RAID patch ;-).
But why back as far as 2.2.5?
