Which will be adding two (three??) unknowns into the picture,
ie. (1) kernel (2) fancy glibc (3) driver integration/porting (ala nVidia etc.)

Make some sense, however, rather get people to get a stablish 2.6.x 
working sooner rather than later, as (3) above is going to be fun, and
then you have the NPTL to content with too.... nVidia's drivers already
have fun with the nptl (afair)  and non-nptl versions....

So rather try and get the kernel at least running as best as possible, then
add the rest.

That's alot if you calculate it to be 0.13 ZAR ;^) so
my 0.02 ZAR is: baby steps and start with the kernel and then evolve to
newer libc+++
