FATAL: kenrel too old - message

Can someone explain me why even an ldd on a dynamic executable gives a "kernel too old"? I understand that linking to a gcc that does not support the kernel causes this problem at runtime, but why does ldd fail? Are there other ways to diagnose this?

Thanks
Michael

$ ./ac_knc
FATAL: kernel too old

$ ldd ./ac_knc
FATAL: kernel too old
