LDTs and Linux 2.4.x

[Andreas Jaeger]

As reported on several mailing lists and also in PR libc/2469, the LDT
based thread implementation does not work with some 2.4.x kernel.
This bug is fixed in 2.4.8 and we should therefore adjust the
ASSUME_LDT_WORKS flag.

Ok to commit?

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_LDT_WORKS):
	Since Linux 2.4.8 contains an important bugfix for LDTs, we should
	use LDTs only with 2.4.8 or newer.
