compat: fix glibc >= 2.14 requirement

This project uses the vanilla kernels from the Ubuntu
vanilla kernel PPA. As of >= v3.4 vanilla kernel releases,
there are a few files which are binary in the kernel
headers which are linked with dynamic libraries. Of interest
to us here are the ones required to build external modules.

An example:

/lib/modules/3.4.4-030404-generic/build/scripts/genksyms/genksyms

The folks building these packages are using a glibc >= 2.14 and
although the *only* symbol I see being required from glibc >= 2.14
being memcpy():

As proposed by Ozan we fix this by re-building some of the required
binaries under scripts/ to build external modules.
