-You can play around with many options like kernel version and glibc etc.. however for building the kernel itself none of these matter.  The only option that may conceivably make a difference is the GCC version, particularly if you are building a particularly old kernel version which doesn't support later versions of GCC.  For this demonstration we can just leave all defaults though.  Save the config and then:+To make the compiler we are about to build behave more like the Slackware one we want to use glibc instead of the default uClibc-ng (which is more suited to embedded applications):
