I've applied the conservative increase to 2.4.1. (Though people may be
using 2.4.x kernels I'd expect them to be doing so with Linuxthreads and
glibc 2.3.x or earlier, not with current glibc versions which require NPTL
for use with the Linux kernel. So I think a minimum requirement of 2.6.0
should in fact be safe for all working Linux kernel targets in glibc.)
Having done this, I'll commit your patch.
