      common format string attacks.
      
      This is currently not supported, and will most probably result in
      a broken build, with an error message like:
        ../misc/syslog.c: In function '__vsyslog_chk':
        ../misc/syslog.c:123: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in
        call to 'syslog': function body not available

      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

      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

      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
