Docker beta; command getting bus-error; but works on real VM

Trying to build android under docker. When building the linux kernel for android, the cros-compiler LD command gets a “bus error” (i.e. SIGBUS) when trying to do an intermediate link.

One thing that I noticed is that cat of /proc/version inside the container gives the following:

Linux version 4.4.11-moby (root@5d6665c4dc01) (gcc version 5.2.1 20151010 (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2) ) #1 SMP Sat May 28 11:37:28 UTC 2016

One question I have is: where does this kernel come from, and is it possible to run an older kernel? Since this all works under real hardware running linux (and a VMWare linux image), but in both of those cases the running kernel is a 2.6 based kernel:

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.43.8-1.fc15.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-02.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Jun 4 20:33:44 UTC 2012

Expected behavior

Should be able to build the linux kernel under docker as if building under running linux system.

Actual behavior

When building the linux kernel, getting the following error:

/bin/sh: line 1: 13946 Bus error /Volumes/android/bugfix/cpe_android_tca203_os/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-ld -EL -r -o usr/built-in.o usr/initramfs_data.o
