What does your: meta/conf/distro/include/tcmode-default.inc have
as the default ? It should be LINUXLIBCVERSION ?= "3.1".

I'm talking about master for that default. In the release branches
it was still back on 2.6.37.

Is that being overridden somewhere in meta-intel that would trigger
the 2.6.37 (the old default) ? I didn't find anything, but that doesn't
mean I didn't miss it.
