I'm using the Fedora 10 updated kernel (currently 
kernel-2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i686). No 2.4 kernels involved. The 
kernel is supposed to be backwards-compatible.

Actually, I get a different error message:

[William2 at quarlewm2 ~]$ LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 ldd /usr/bin/dirname
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
