Don't worry, they should work.
The reason the kernel is needed is that the GNU libc needs the kernel sources to obtain some structs to "talk" with the kernel. But the generated libc will work in that kernel and newer ones.
And the executables generated with that libc will work with that version of the libc and newer ones, regardless of the kernel .
So for this case it doesn't really matters as you are building an (slightly) older libc than the one that comes with the iliad, and the executables you generate will be using the libc of the iliad, not the one you compiled..
P.S.: about the instructions in the wiki, I'll try to have a look at them sometime to fix that, but right now I would rather focus on xepdmgr... In the meantime, could you add to the wiki page a note with your fixes? Thanks
