    10 <para>The host must be running at least a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with GCC-3.0 or
    11 higher. There are two main reasons for this requirement. First, the Native POSIX
    12 Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel has not
    13 been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version. Second, the 2.6.2 or later
    14 version of the kernel is required for the use of Udev. Udev creates devices
    15 dynamically by reading from the <systemitem

    17 filesystem has only recently been implemented in most of the kernel drivers. We

    33 solve this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6.2 (or later) kernel
