Could you please keep 2.6.32 for i386/x86_64? In mentioned glibc commit
http://repo.or.cz/glibc.git/commit/5b4ecd3f95695ef593e4474b4ab5a117291ba5fc
I see that Linux v3.2 is required for all architectures except x86 / x86_64.
Currently we build OE and use SDK on x86_64 hosts and some of them
run Linux based on kernel 2.6.32 so we would like to still have ability
to use OE/SDK on such machines

Thanks,
Ruslan
