Thanks for this. I included it as the first question in the FAQ.

While this will be a bit difficult, it is certainly something that should
be tested. I wonder if one could just test whether something that requires
kernel parameters can be compiled. For example, the following program
should not compile on a machine with 2.2.x and glibc2.1:

#include <resolv.h>
int main( void ) {
    return 0;
}

because /usr/include/resolv.h includes /usr/include/sys/param.h which
includes /usr/include/linux/limits.h. I don't know, however, what happens
if you try to compile this on some other Unix without kernel sources.
