You could ask.  Just to ignore reports that you have asked for is not 
polite.  My report was based on a virgin, unpatched 2.4.2 kernel, and 
(as noted) the Debian-packaged glibc-2.2.2.  

If you are trying to trim your list, would be reasonable to drop 
Linux-2.0.x, because that version is not being maintained any more.

Linux-2.2 and Linux-2.4 are different codebases.  It is worth noting,
besides, the glibc-version tested along with each Linux kernel version.
