No.
The issue is that if you have a kernel running on the building machine older
than the version defined in --enable-kernel, building glibc will fail with
'kernel too old message'.
So --enable-kernel primary limit to wich kernel version is needed to build
LFS.
So to be clear, if someone want to build LFS from RHEL-5 or debian etch,
2.6.18 is fine. But on any older kernel, glibc compilation will fail.

At least that was I have seen before the switch to cross-compilation.
