2.4.21-15 is the Linux _kernel_ version and does not help us to diagnose your
problem. We need to know the Red Hat _distribution_ version from
/etc/redhat-release (or /etc/fedora-release if you use Fedora Core). Also you
should make sure you have the latest updates for your distribution.

The build process is configured to use Gcc 2.96 for compilation.
