Do we need to have a 2.6 kernel here ?

njoly@lanfeust [~]> sudo sysctl -w emul.linux.kern.osrelease=2.4.18
emul.linux.kern.osrelease: 2.0.38 -> 2.4.18
njoly@lanfeust [~]> /usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin/uname -a
Linux lanfeust.sis.pasteur.fr 2.4.18 #0 Sun Nov 11 11:11:11 MET 2000 amd64 amd64 amd64 GNU/Linux
njoly@lanfeust [~]> file /usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin/uname
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin/uname: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

It seems that we need a Linux kernel version greater than 2.4.1; and
the already defined version 2.4.18 looks good enough ...

Here are 2 x86_64 linux hosts i have access to (CentOS and SuSE) :

njoly@raclette-04 [~]> cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp (centos@head) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-39)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 19 11:28:26 CST 2005

njoly@raclette-04:~> cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.5-7.145-smp (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 SMP Thu Jan 27 09:19:29 UTC 2005
