If you build your busybox with recent kernel headers (it has nothing
to do with the kernel, only kernel headers actually matters), - it is
unlikely you'll run it on outdated kernels.  And even on kernel 6.7,
this subsystem were deprecated already.  So personally, I see no reason
to keep building something when it's clear it wont be used.
