That's not a compiler issue, it's a libc issue. When you built your
toolchain you have likely (or accidently) selected a minimum kernel
version that is more recent than this one. The init code in the linker
checks the kernel version and refuses to start in such a case. If your
init depends on this libc, you simply cannot boot.
I don't know how far recent libcs can go on kernel support, but
you may possibly need to rebuild an older one, and sometimes older
libc will not build with modern gcc. So you should use the most
recent libc that still claims to support that kernel, and use the
most recent compiler your libc can be built with (maybe yours is
OK but I don't know).
Hoping this helps,
Willy
