[Clfs-dev] Updating EGLIBC configure command

[William Harrington]

Greetings,

The next change I'd like to make is to the eglibc configure commands  
in all sections.

We do not need --enable-kernel=2.6.0

It makes it so that build can be ran when the host is using a 2.6.0  
kernel.

That is way outdated and it increases the eglibc install size with a  
huge
amount of compatability syscall support for all kernels to 2.6.0.

I suggest we use the minimum version for udev 182 to work properly.  
In the UDEV-182
README it states that the required kernel is 2.6.34. I suggest we put  
that for the --enable-kernel switch.

Users can still use a host running a 2.6.0 kernel (hah like that is a  
fat chance), but they won't be able to chroot into the system as libc  
will expect a kernel version of 2.6.34 or greater.

Users can do maintenance, however, but not chroot.

Here is the documentation for the --enable-kernel option if the  
reader is unsure of its operation.
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Configuring-and- 
compiling.html

Just to let you konw that is valid as eglibc pulls its tree from  
glibc and then include their own patches.

Any thoughts from the community?

Sincerely,

William Harrington
