2.4.18 and 2.4.19 appear to be very different beasts. I've had no problem
compiling my own versions of 2.4.18. I recently tried
kernel-source-2.4.19 with a config from a 2.4.18 Debian kernel and got the
same error as the OP. At the time I thought I was just doing something
wrong (which it appears I was). I believe the key is in the config file
though, a basic diff of the two configs lists quite a few changes.
