uname gives the kernel version, rather than the libraries version, and the
2 are not at all closely related.
My hack to make a system which builds on both is to have this in the build
script
if ldd /bin/ls | fgrep -s 'libc.so.6'
then
echo 'LIBRESOLV = -lresolv -lnsl' >>Local/Makefile-Linux
fi
ie I hack the Makefile if ls is linked against libc version 6.
