From 2e66f57febe85a63ce2ab98eaf6318d47eb60939 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggleton Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 16:43:31 +1200 Subject: classes/kernel: check OLDEST_KERNEL at configure time If the kernel being built is older than OLDEST_KERNEL and we're building with glibc, then the C library we're building is probably not going to be compatible with the kernel and we should warn the user. (This is easier to do here rather than when building glibc, because we don't necessarily have the information we need to determine the kernel version there, whereas we do here.) Fixes [YOCTO #8653].
