You could ask. Just to ignore reports that you have asked for is not
polite. My report was based on a virgin, unpatched 2.4.2 kernel, and
(as noted) the Debian-packaged glibc-2.2.2.

If you are trying to trim your list, would be reasonable to drop
Linux-2.0.x, because that version is not being maintained any more.

Linux-2.2 and Linux-2.4 are different codebases. It is worth noting,
besides, the glibc-version tested along with each Linux kernel version.
