Because arm-linux didn't get EABI support until 2.6.16 (though our toolchains 
may accept 2.6.14). glibc has santity checks stop applications even trying to 
run on kernels that are too old.

As I mentioned qemu lie about the kernel version. See -r 
and --enable-uname-release.

I'm confused. My host kernel, (hosted on an x86 ubuntu box), is:

rpixley@svrpixleylnx> uname -r
2.6.12-10-686-smp

And my understanding is that there is no kernel when running qemu-user because qemu is emulating the kernel calls.

What am I missing? Or where does the kernel version come into play?
