As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to leave the decision on the 
appropriateness of this version requirement to Richard as alpha 
maintainer.  My intent is to propose a 3.2 requirement for all 
architectures as soon as 2.6.32 ceases to be maintained (so for glibc 2.23 
if that's before the release freeze, or 2.24 if later than that).
