You don't need to set it - but you can set it to any kernel number.
glibc will then not work with older kernels. glibc has a number of
support for older and newer interfaces. If we know that we've got a
new kernel, we can remove the support for the old interfaces.

It should work, I've given it a short test. Btw. run a full cvs
update including my change to alpha/syscalls.list, otherwise
__setrlimit is missing.
