In BugLabs we used Poky 'pinky' and then switched to OpenEmbedded
2009-stable tree. At that time we used 2.6.2x linux-libc-headers as this
was present in both trees and selected by default.

When BUG 2.0 prototypes started working we started move from phoneme to
openjdk as java-vm provider. To build openjdk newer linux-libc-headers
were needed due to lack of HWCAP_THUMBEE define in 2.6.2x ones. Patching
default version was better solution then switching to newer one as it
gave us smaller chance of build failures.

And that's whole story of it.
