I think this can have something to do with glibc's --with-kernel
parameter. We used a very recent release, so this can be a problem.
Should be the case of adding Linux 2.6.x to Glibc's dependencies and
then creating a Linux package that presents
/System/Kernel/{Boot,Modules} + /Files/Compile/Sources/linux-2.6.x
(sanitized) inside Unmanaged? Seems to be a better way to handle the
kernel package and fix the Glibc issue, right?
