So I've heard, which is why I always steered clear of this topic.

I suspected something like this, but Fremantle uses Kernel 2.6.28 while Squeeze uses 2.6.32. So I'd expect it to be easy to recompile the modules, but I'd be surprised if the resulting modules were actually binary compatible.

Wheezy should still be fully functional on 2.6.32 (and probably 2.6.28 - at least it works in a chroot).
Jessie is a slightly different story. It still boots on 2.6.32 (but by default not on 2.6.28, hence the glibc patch), but Systemd requires a newer kernel, so some things won't work.
Stretch won't work on 2.6.32 anymore, or at least the amount of patching glibc would require is far beyond my skills and would likely mean to fork it.
