I am not an English native but this sentence sounds a bit strange to
me ("used" followed by "require" and double "Linux"?).
I can imagine what you want to express but have no better wording right now.

180 +  echo -e "   This was added since kernels >= 3.4 used require"
181 +  echo -e "   a glibc >= 2.14 for memcpy(), and not all Linux"
182 +  echo -e "   Linux distributions have such glibc.
