      will be able to run against.
yann@922
    71
      
yann@922

      This will inclde legacy compatibility code for older kernels in
yann@922
    73
      the C library, thus ensuring that it will run on a large number

      of old kernels.
yann@922

yann@922
    76
      The minimum kernel version supported will be dependent upon the
yann@922
    77
      target you build for. For example:
yann@922
    78

yann@922
    79

      Normaly, you'll want glibc/eglibc to run against the same kernel
yann@922
    88
      version as the one used for the headers.
yann@922
    89
      
yann@922

      This is the default.
yann@922

      If enabled, crosstool-ng will use the chosen version of kernel
yann@922
    93
      headers for the glibc minimum kernel version supported, which is
yann@922
    94
      what gets passed to "--enable-kernel=" when configuring glibc.
yann@922
    95
      
yann@922
    96
      Enabling this will ensure that no legacy compatibility code for
yann@922
    97
      older kernels is built into your C libraries, but it will
yann@922
    98
      be unable to run on kernel versions older than whichever kernel
yann@922
    99
      headers version you've built the toolchain for.
yann@922
   100
      
yann@922
   101
      If you know for sure that your toolchain will never need to build
yann@922
   102
      applications that will run under a kernel version older than your
yann@922
   103
      chosen kernel headers version (CT_KERNEL_VERSION), you can choose
yann@922
   104
      "y" here.

      headers version used for your toolchain.  This controls what is

yann@922

      If you want to be able to statically link programs with your
yann@922
   117
      toolchain's C library, make sure this kernel version is lower than
yann@922
   118
      all kernels you wish to support to avoid "FATAL: kernel too old"
yann@922
   119
      errors.  The higher the version you specify, the less legacy code
yann@922
   120
      will be built into libc.
yann@922
   121
yann@922
