That doesn't make sense for our case.  We're using openembedded to
generate a rootfs for an embedded virtual environment whose Linux
kernel is currently at 2.6.10.  Glibcs built for later kernels will
not run on this (because of the changes for handling
thread-local-storage introduced in the 2.6.11--2.6.12 timeframe)
