I don't think this is necessary.  This version is mainly used with 2.4
kernel even though they are not available widely now.  But the
lifetime of glibc 2.2 overlaps certainly more with the 2.4 kernels
than with 2.2.  But then we just have one more if (more code) and two
used entry points in the kernel.  Mind you that I don't
--enable-kernel be used very much in general.
