First of all, RPMs for 2.4.18-17.7.x would be excellent since I have no
VPN gateway anymore and I can't get freeswan to compile without errors,
regardless what version of freeswan I'm trying. All the version give the
same error. Tried it with ipsec compiled as a module and ipsec compiled
as part of the kernel.
Procedure used:
1. Changed top level Makefile and deleted the xcustom bit.
2. cd to the /usr/src/freeswan directory. make insert, make program
3. cd to /usr/src/linux
4. make menuconfig. change the networking options to load ipsec.
5. make dep clean zImage. The compile fails at the 'make zImage' with
the following error:
make -C ipsec
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-17.7.x/net/ipsec'

Now I've done maybe 20 installs from source (with other kernels) without
problems in the past. This is the first time it fails using the
described procedure above.
