Redhat 9.0 /usr/src/linux-2.4.x won't compile

RedHatters,

I have installed RH9.0 and the kernel-source*.rpm

When I  cd into /usr/src/linux-2.4.x and run make oldconfig or cp
/boot/config-2.4.x to /usr/src/linux-2.4.x/.config use `make xconfig' to
add ntfs filesystem support and run `make dep bzImage modules' It fails
every time with compile errors

However downloading the latest 2.4.22 source and compiling it using the
/boot/config-2.4.x file with just ntfs support enabled works.

Can anyone tell me if they have successfully compiled the default RH
source or is it just there to add 30MB+ to the system?
