The preliminary indications I have indicate there are problems.
I applied the 2.4.23-G4 patch from Ingo with the same results you had,
ie the the mmremap offset and Makefile failures. Compiled and
rebooted the kernel on a test machine.
XFree86 4.3.0 with the RedHat patches now fails to start with a SIG11
error. Turning off exec-shield (echoing 0 to
/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield) enables XFree to start normally.
So it would seem that something changed with the mremap changes in
2.4.24.

Just out of interest, were you running the same config (boot params
etc.) before moving to 2.4.24?
Have you looked at this page:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/ANNOUNCE-exec-shield
In particular the X workaround option. I believe there are known issues
with some versions of X and this patch, but the box I use it on isn't
running X, so I use exec-shield=3 and have had no problems with the
2.4.23-G4 patch on 2.4.24..... yet :-)
Thanks for the reply,
Phil
