This would only be required if you'd upgrade the userspace kernel
headers on this system to a version not matching the ones glibc was
built against - and this has never been considered a good idea
(it should work in theory, but not with our current header mess).

Sorry, but that's just utterly wrong. It has always worked. The kernel ABI
is stable on this level.

In this area, the ABI is much more stable than the API.

Try compiling glibc-2.0.1 with 2.6.17 kernel headers...
