Package: libc6 Version: 2.17-92 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, kfreebsd-i386 & kfreebsd-amd64 have linux emulatrion layer that can emulate 2.6.16 linux API level. Which is also the minimum kernel version that glibc2.17 & 2.18 require. At configure time though, the minimal kernel version is set at 2.6.32.
Would you mind lowering it back to 2.6.16? The benefits it will bring, is executing i386/amd64 binaries without need to recompile glibc, by simply enabling i386/amd64 repositories and installing foreign arch packages. I don't know what performance/size/etc penalties are with lowering minimal kernel version. Alternatively, would you consider having a separate binary glibc package on i386/amd64 with minimal version set back to 2.6.16?
