If you want to cross-compile 2.4 kernels, you either need an "old" 
crosscompiler (2.95 works), or else you need to patch several things in 
the kernel.  Of the top of my head, there are two main things:
1) _asm_ macros with multiline strings need to be broken up.
2) all the initcall's fail, because in 2.4 they are marked as "discard" 
and newer toolchains actually _do_ discard the resulting ELF blocks.
