The linuxulator (kernel) will only switch to 2.6 mode with 2.6.16,  
with everything else it will stay in 2.4 mode. The linux  
infrastructure (ports) may decide to do their own stuff based upon the  
value of osversion. In the linux_base-fc6 this is the case for sure  
(libc and so on). The port you use may do the same. You've been  
warned...

Bye,
