our glibc versions long ago stopped working with linux-2.4 due to NPTL being required. further, we've long set the min kernel version to 2.6.9 in the ebuild itself. so bumping it to 2.6.16 isn't a stretch.
the driving force here is that glibc upstream is looking to set the min kernel version to 2.6.16. if there's no real incentive for us to support anything older, then we'll follow suite. -mike
