Description Paul Eggleton 2015-11-05 14:46:41 UTC 
If OLDEST_KERNEL is set to a value newer than the kernel being built, unless the kernel has been appropriately patched you may end up with a glibc that doesn't work on the kernel being built. We should probably check OLDEST_KERNEL against the kernel being built and at least show a warning if it's older.

I've ended up implementing this so I might as well take it back.
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2016-05-24 02:35:32 UTC 
Implementation merged to master:
