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..
