Now glibc-2.10 is out, I will be preparing another toolchain rebuild. One question that has been discussed previously is bumping the minimum kernel required by glibc. Bumping it too recent is full of stupid, but bumping it some would cut down on some unnecessary glibc workaround code.
I am thinking that the minimal kernel version should be 2.6.22 which was released two years ago. It is the lowest kernel version that udev works with so people using kernels older than that need to do some workarounds anyway.
Any comments/objections?
+1 from me, thanks for looking at this. -Dan
