Dear Yann E. MORIN,

I think the specified headers version should match the one actually
used in the toolchain. Otherwise, the user may have messages such as
"package foo needs headers >= 3.3" even if he is using a toolchain with
kernel headers of kernel 3.6.
This behavior would also match what we currently do: if a toolchain has
thread support, but the user forgets to indicate in menuconfig that the
toolchain has thread support, then we abort with an error. Even if
technically speaking, we could simply continue, since building a
configuration with no thread support would work entirely fine with a
toolchain that has thread support.
Best regards,
Thomas
