Based on some of your previous questions I would not go down the route
of experimenting with the build process just yet. Especially with the
book in question. CLFS Sysroot is still very experimental. If you wish
to follow it you can adapt the method from the regular CLFS trunk book
to install into your sysroot.

There is no modification required to the toolchain. The argument you see
passed to glibc is the minimum version of the linux kernel required to
run glibc. If you set this value to --enable-kernel=2.6.27, Then you
will not be able to boot your system with a 2.6.26 kernel.
