Thinking about this, I still think we need the patch for glibc-2.2 and
maybe glibc-2.3 for compiling with kernels < 2.5.x? Though I'd
probably just say we should take the hit for people using 2.4 kernels
with glibc-2.3. The fast syscall support isn't going into glibc-2.2.

I assume some of the BuzzwordCompliantServer packages from various
distributions are going to stick to glibc-2.2 and kernel-2.4.x for a
while.

Back to mangling glibc-2.3.

Cheers,
Jes
