Michael, One improvement that I have heard will come from compiling glibc against a 2.4 kernel is that it will provide large file support. Right now any file over 4GB (iirc) on ix86 will cause all sorts of problems. You can't even see a file with ls, it gives an error. I hope someone packages new 2.4.x kernel headers so that Ben can recompile glibc against it.
