this is printed by glibc

glibc can be built with --enable-kernel=x.y.z to set the minimal
compatible kernel version (it spends an extra uname syscall on this
at startup)

and there is a gnu elf note section with linux os abi that contains
a minimum kernel version (readelf or file(1) can print it), i guess
that comes from binutils

so you may be able to change those and then it will "work"
