Yep. We do this every day. (for arm and armel targets). We have not
run into problems with the fact that the kernel is 2.4 and in fact the
same apps work fine on 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (we use 2.6 kernels on
newer hardware, but the shipping stuff is still 2.4 for the next month
or so of production, then it is finally gone - horray!). If your
application was particularly using kernel features then I expect you
could find problems where you would need to be careful about
kernel-headers and glibc.
