[Security-Discuss] updated glibc to be compatible with _what_ new kernels

Advisory MDKA-2006:037, including
2006.0/i586/glibc-2.3.6-4.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm, says the
following:

    Updated glibc packages are being provided to ensure
    that kernel and user-space tools are in sync. This
    update also fixes a bug present on x86_64 platforms
    where strncmp() is mis-optimized.

_What_ new kernels need the new glibc?  Is it the kernel update
from a few weeks ago, 2.6.12-25mdk?  Or, is it a new kernel not
yet visible in the updates list?

Thanks in advance for info.
