The mentioned change is in glibc headers, not the kernel.

The FAQ already says at the very beginning of the Linux filedescriptors
section:

    Linux kernel 2.2.12 and later supports "unlimited" number of open
    files without patching. ....

and shortly after that

    Edit /usr/include/bits/types.h to define __FD_SETSIZE to at least
    the amount of filedescriptors you'd like to support (Not required
    for Squid-2.5 and later).

for the full text see Squid FAQ 11.4 Running out of filedescriptors

These are built with the kernel defaults of 1024 filedescriptors.
