     102      <para>The reason for the kernel version requirement is that thread-local
     103      storage support in Binutils will not be built and the Native POSIX
     104      Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel
     105      isn't at least a 2.6.x version compiled with a 3.0 or later release of

     118      <para>If the results of the above command do not state that the host
     119      kernel is either 2.6.x, or that it was not compiled using a GCC-3.0
     120      (or later) compiler, you will have to replace the kernel with one
     121      adhering to the specifications. There are two methods you can take
     122      to solve this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6 kernel
     123      package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your vendor doesn't
     124      offer a 2.6 kernel package, or you would prefer not to install it,
     125      then you can compile a 2.6 kernel yourself. Instructions for compiling
