My point (which maybe I didn't state clearly) was about static UML
binaries. I think he's getting:
$ ./linux
FATAL kernel too old
I.e. a problem from a static binary linked with a recent glibc, A
dynamic binary would work, unless the host glibc does not support the
host kernel. This was the reasoning I should have made clearer.

In case this is the doubt (probably not) I don't think the reporter
(Stephane) is getting this:
$ ./linux
[when guest init is starting]
FATAL kernel is too old
(i.e. a problem with a guest glibc refusing the guest kernel - and he
runs successfully a 2.4 guest kernel and fails with a 2.6 guest, so I
tend to exclude this case).

Am I still missing something?
Bye!
