Comment (by mojca):
Unless we provide accurate information and implement this properly (which
is unlikely to happen), we could either disable version checks, remove the
version from Linux altogether (this is probably used in way too many
places to get them all correct), or always set the version to "1".
I don't know all the details, but kernel version sounds a pretty useless
metric, it's usually glibc that governs compatibility, and portfiles
cannot do any sane checks on linux version anyway..
