Yann E. MORIN" 0a99eb0c77 Enable glibc to include support for kernel versions different than the version from the kernel headers.
Thanks to Nate CASE <ncase@xes-inc.com> for suggesting this use-case, and providing the patch.

# Please note:
# the symlink is a hack around the fact that mconf can not parse
# the same file more than once, and errors out if it is the case.
# If mconf is updated to accept multiple inclusion of the same
# file, then the symlink can go (and the includers be updated).

Extra flags to pass onto ./configure when configuring.
Eg.: --enable-static-nss
config LIBC_GLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS

help
Extra target CFLAGS to use when building.

Extra flags to pass gcc when building.
Seldom used, except for sparc64 which seems to need the flag -64
to be passed onto gcc.
config LIBC_GLIBC_USE_PORTS
bool
prompt "Use the ports addon"
default n
help
The ports addon contains some architecture ports that are not available
in the official distribution.
For example, this is the case for ARM with for 2.4 and above.
Say n only if you're sure that your architecture is in the official
distribution for your chosen version.
config LIBC_ADDONS
bool
prompt "Pass extra addons list"
default n
help
If you say Y here, you'll be able to give the list of addons you want to
include in your C library.
config LIBC_ADDONS_LIST
string
prompt "Extra addons"
default ""
depends on LIBC_ADDONS
help
Extra addons to include. Space separated list.
You need to specify neither linuxthreads nor nptl, as they are added
automagically for you depending on the threading model you choosed
earlier.
Eg.: crypt (for very old libces)
config LIBC_GLIBC_USE_HEADERS_MIN_KERNEL
bool
prompt "Use headers version for minimum kernel version supported"
default y
help
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 LIBC_GLIBC_MIN_KERNEL_CHOSEN
string
prompt "Minimum kernel version supported"
default "2.6.9"
depends on ! LIBC_GLIBC_USE_HEADERS_MIN_KERNEL
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.
Most people can leave this at the default value of "2.6.9".
