Yes: abort any program at startup if the current kernel version is less
than VERSION, and also remove any workarounds included in the glibc
sources for kernels older than VERSION (if any).

That's an Arch decision (made by their maintainer), not something that
applies to glibc itself.  :-)  See:

http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/glibc/repos/core-x86_64/PKGBUILD?r1=36985&r2=39100

for the actual change in their PKGBUILD script.  (The section labeled
"line 62".)
