Hi Jonathan,

Thanks.

1.06.95 is in fact the last bc release made available by GNU.
It was released back in 2006 so it sounds reasonable to me to impose
that version.
It may work with previous releases but I don't think it makes sense to
put the constraint to test the kernel build with older versions.

Happy to hear about other views if any.

Best Regards

Benoit
