1 Hello!
2
3 I tried to google around with this, but didn't find anything useful.
4
5 I am maintaining a xen based system, dom0 and domU both gentoo x86_64
6 (they're working flawlessly for a long time now).
7
8 The latest non-masked xen-sources is at version 2.6.18-r12, and the
9 _oldest_ 2.6 linux-headers is at 2.6.23-r3.
10
11 My question is, is it safe to compile a new glibc (2.8), with newer
12 headers and older kernel api? Or should I create an ebuild like
13 "xen-headers" to an overlay?
