Thanks for the info. I presume kernel version 2.6.12 and above are the
best candidates

Consider that Red Hat Enterprise Linux has a popular, still-supported version
that is based on linux-2.6.9; other supported versions are based on kernels
that are more recent. Current glibc (including ld-linux.so.2) also has
version-dependent code that triggers on LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.6.9. So if your
target audience includes these users, then it would be appropriate to test
on a current system with "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.6.9", and also to test
on a system that actually uses such an old kernel.
