-<para>The host must be running at least a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with GCC-3.0 or
-higher. There are two main reasons for this requirement. First, the Native POSIX
-Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel has not
-been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version. Second, the 2.6.2 or later
-version of the kernel is required for the use of Udev. Udev creates devices
-dynamically by reading from the <systemitem
