I found a short overview at http://kernelslacker.livejournal.com/85039.html Also, different libs are used with 2.4.20: 2.4.2: uses libs for old linuxthreads bin/ls: librt.so.1 => /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/librt.so.1 (0x2807c000) libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x28090000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x28097000) libc.so.6 => /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/libc.so.6 (0x280a8000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/libpthread.so.0 (0x281c7000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2805d000) libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x2821a000) 2.4.20: uses libs from the standard paths which surely depend on nptl, tls, futexes,... because fc4 shipped with a 2.6.17 kernel. bin/ls: librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x2807c000) libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x28090000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x28097000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x280a8000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x281c5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2805d000) libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x281d6000) It isn't really necessary to support this imho.
