I just cross-built a native arm-unknown-linux-gnu compiler, and that works
MUCH better with 2.6 kernel headers than with 2.4 kernel headers.

Using the 2.4 kernel headers, I would end up with a glibc that called
syscalls that didn't exist.  waitpid was one of them, but I would get
strange errors with file locking too.

Now that I re-bootstrapped with the headers from linux 2.6.6, all those
problems appear to have disappeared, as mysteriously as they came.


Well, maybe I should make 2.6.x the default for all arches
in crosstool, then... the resulting tools ought to work
fine with 2.4 kernels, and they work much better for you,
so I guess it's time to switch.
