Created attachment 89917 [details] text file Hope this is helpful, anything else I can do to be of help feel free to ask.
looks like you forgot make mrproper etc as first steps
Make mrproper, make clean, make xconfig, load config from /boot/config-2.4.18-24.8.0smp(this was config created after kernel upgrade) , make dep, make modules, poops out by srv3/4 binary support.
Turns out that up2date when I first went to 2-4.18-24.8 did not up2date kernel-utils to kernel-utils-2.4-8.28. After updating kernel-utils I am not experiencing any more issues with compiling. You can close this out, I was not sure how to identify resolution, was guessing upstream but I'll leave that for you to determine.
