error by compiling of RedHat 9 modules

Hi,

After make bzImage the next step would be make modules that fails at the 
very begining.

The first error message reported is:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/kernel.h:60: invalid suffix on integer 
constant
and so on.

The first problematic line in this header contains the following:
extern struct notifier_block *panic_notifier_list;
I searched for it and the panic_notifier_list is defined in the 
linux/modules/ksyms.ver but in a strange manner for me so I have no idea how 
to interpret it or what to do to eliminate the errors.

I guess others also should run into this problem by compiling the latest 
kernel available at ftp.redhat.com and any comments would be appreciated.

thanks
Tamas
