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. |
