relation between gcc/glibc version and linux kernel version??

[ganesh subramonian]

Hi
For example i hear that native posix threads has portions of it implemented in kernel and also requires glibc support. In such cases if i attempt to run an application compiled with gcc-4 on a linux-2.4 kernel, wont there be problems??
With changes in binutils, would there be changes in the basic elf format itself?? in such case wouldn't the kernel need to know about this?

thanks
ganesh
