[Clfs-support] is it possible to build target OS in kernel 2.4 and glibc 2.3 in CLFS?

I'm assuming you want to build a regular CLFS system and not the
embedded or sysroot versions.
Chroot'ing will almost certainly give you trouble going from a 2.4 to
2.6 kernel.  I'd avoid that.  Use the boot method instead.

I don't know the answer to your question (I'd venture the answer is
"no"), but I'd recommend starting with the 1.1.0 book and see how far
you can get.  If you have a reasonably modern machine, it shouldn't
take too long (time wise) to get a working cross compiler or run into
issues.

Can you run the version-check.sh script and provide the output?

If there's any way you could use a slightly more recent Linux
distribution, it'll probably provide a better experience.  CentOS3 is
about 8 years old.  Any specific reason you're still using it?
