I am a normal user so I need to get used to any environment the |
| 9 |
administrator gives. There happens to be a redhat 7.2 machine on which I |
| 10 |
tried Prefix. |

Currently there are some problems on the old glibc version and kernel |
| 18 |
version. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
For example, I want to use user mode linux (uml) on it. The glibc-2.2 |
| 21 |
will not build 2.6.3x kernels. If I compiled the uml kernel elsewhere |
| 22 |
and copy to the old machine, there would be "kernel version too low" |
| 23 |
fetal error, which is because glibc on the building machine do not have |
| 24 |
kernel 2.4 support. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I was wondering if there is a way to build a binary against lastest |
| 27 |
glibc and still keep the compatability to run on 2.4 kernels. |

Cheers! |
