that's where I disagree. a configure check should not be dependent on the running kernel.  I assume in the majority of cases you won't build against a current kernel, so the a fix in python maybe could be a runtime check.  Such configure checks will fail for cross builds too.

Note that packages on Ubuntu are always built on the current kernel of the current LTS release, on Debian on current kernels of the current stable release.  So there is nothing "out-of-date".
