For example i hear that native posix threads has portions of it
implemented in kernel and also requires glibc support.
This is the wrong list for kernel of glibc issues. So, let's ignore
that as off-topic.
In such cases if i attempt to run an application compiled with
gcc-4 on a linux-2.4 kernel, wont there be problems?
No, gcc-4.x support linux-2.4.
With changes in binutils, would there be changes in the basic elf
format itself?
No.
in such case wouldn't the kernel need to know about this?
No.
