Fetch MOSIX-1.0.5 yourself.

But Caveat Emptor: -rc5's 2.4.6 is flaky as far as I can see.
Module support is broken based on some _mmx_* calls thats somehow
either not mangled, or mangled wrongly.

Advice:
 Install build-rc5 with a 2.4.4 kernel (I think I did a 2.4.4-r something),
and after that (Except if you need it the extra extentions) fetch
linux-2.4.6 yourself & do a manual installation.
(That's what I did, and yes, it's not "ebuild"/portage safe, but it works :)
