I know. I did once. And I don't want to do it again! :o) Let's say I want to use the O_DIRECT feature with files. Of course O_DIRECT is not defined in 2.4.4 but in 2.4.19. So would it be enough to define the flag O_DIRECT in my application? Since all that glibc does is passing the flags to the kernel while opening a file, doesn't it?
