Yes. I've used an old SuSE 7.3 with many packages compiled by myself and |
| 18 |
haven't had any problems up to now. And I'm sure, the glibc was very old |
| 19 |
(so I think it was compiled with a 2.2.x kernel) and last I've used kernel |
| 20 |
2.4.18 with the includes pointing at that kernel. |

Why should the usr/include/linux and asm reflect the state at glibc compile |
| 23 |
time? Is there any reading about that? |
