As the title and the sub-title say.
Context: "The Pooch" (working title), in other words the experimental dpup-3.14.56.1
I'm currently working on.
If I want to update both the the C library and the kernel for this would-be Pup, which
one should I start compiling first?
For example, there's an update to the 3.14 kernel, 3.14 63, just out March 3rd.
(Please see -- https://www.kernel.org --.)
I'm not promising anything, but, for the sake of example:
if I tried to compile the 3.14.63 kernel against the existing 2.13 version of the C
library in "The Pooch", would the kernel and modules be limited to this C library
version 2.13?
If later I compile C library version 2.23 (still as an example; most likely a lesser
version), could this kernel and modules compiled against v. 2.13 be usable?
A second example, if I may, to view this question from a different angle:
dejan555's dpup-4.87 already has C library version 2.20, but an old kernel, 2.32,
IIRC. Could one compile the latest (as of this writing) kernel version 4.4.4 against
it? And then would it be portable to "The Pooch"?
(I'm using dejan's Pup, and lib and kernel versions as examples, but doing so,
I am not hinting at anything or targeting anyone. I'm just trying to get to the
general principle, and these two DPups are what came to mind.)
Like in the folk saying: "Which comes first: the hen or the egg?"

Thanks in advance for shedding any light on this subject.
BFN.
