Are you talking about using a cluster to compile the kernel? In that case,
Google for DistCC.

Are you asking if a compiled linux kernel can be used as part of a cluster?
openMosix is the project you're searching for.

from what I remember libc made the change then everything else had to be 
fixed. this commit is the commit which fixes it:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d15bd1067b1fcb2b7250d22bc0c7c7fea0b759f7

but after thinking this over we probably should have done a
get_line || getline();
so old and new can always be working for people using older kernels and 
in the event of bisecting. but then again we might have more of a 
bloated kernel if we did this approach to _every_ function definition 
rename in the kernel.

anyway hope this helps with your build experience of the kernel.
