This will include legacy compatibility code for older kernels in the C library, thus ensuring that it will run on a large number of old kernels. The minimum kernel version supported will be dependent upon the target you build for. For example: alpha*-*-linux-gnu Requires Linux 2.6.9 for NPTL sh[34]-*-linux-gnu Requires Linux 2.6.11 powerpc* Requires Linux 2.4.19 arm*-*-linux-*gnueabi Requires Linux 2.6.16 config GLIBC_KERNEL_VERSION_AS_HEADERS bool prompt "Same as kernel headers (default)" help Normally, you'll want glibc to run against the same kernel version as the one used for the headers. This is the default. If enabled, crosstool-ng will use the chosen version of kernel headers for the glibc minimum kernel version supported, which is what gets passed to "--enable-kernel=" when configuring glibc. Enabling this will ensure that no legacy compatibility code for older kernels is built into your C libraries, but it will be unable to run on kernel versions older than whichever kernel headers version you've built the toolchain for. If you know for sure that your toolchain will never need to build applications that will run under a kernel version older than your chosen kernel headers version (CT_KERNEL_VERSION), you can choose "y" here. config GLIBC_KERNEL_VERSION_CHOSEN bool prompt "Specific kernel version" help Specify the earliest Linux kernel version you want glibc to include support for. This does not have to match the kernel headers version used for your toolchain. This controls what is passed to the "--enable-kernel=" option to the glibc configure script. If you want to be able to statically link programs with your toolchain's C library, make sure this kernel version is lower than all kernels you wish to support to avoid "FATAL: kernel too old" errors. The higher the version you specify, the less legacy code will be built into libc.
