Hi. I built 2.2.2 with --enable-kernel=2.4.0. My question is if
for the soon to be released 2.2.3 --enable-kernel=2.4.3 (or
2.4.4 ?) will make any difference, or just remove compatibility
for 2.4.2 and earlier Kernel releases.

If no, --enable-kernel won't change for 2.4 ?

TIA.

That depends on which features the kernel implements at which time.
So far we don't have anything newer than 2.4.1, for details check
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h.

The features selected might change as soon as the kernel implements
new stuff.
