| 1 | our glibc versions long ago stopped working with linux-2.4 due to NPTL being |
| 2 | required. further, we've long set the min kernel version to 2.6.9 in the |
| 3 | ebuild itself. so bumping it to 2.6.16 isn't a stretch. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | the driving force here is that glibc upstream is looking to set the min kernel |
| 6 | version to 2.6.16. if there's no real incentive for us to support anything |
| 7 | older, then we'll follow suite. |
