We anyway don't have any options today to distinguish between things
added within different versions of the 2.6.x kernels. We have such
options for each individual 3.x kernel, but we handle all 2.6.x kernels
as just one case. Considering this, even though the CodeSourcery
toolchain is indeed broken, I believe depending on >= 3.0 is the right
course of action.

Best regards,

Thomas
