from the perspective of compiling a package like Postgres, the libc and
other libraries version is more important than the kernel

IMHO, the important things to decide at compile time are...

  * prefix directory
  * ssl support?
  * plpython?
  * plperl?
  * uuid support?


ssl, perl, python, and uuid will all require the appropriate runtime
libraries.
