Better would be to change profile to a 2.4 kernel profile. If you look
in /usr/portage/profiles/... you will see that (probably) under your
current profile there will be a 2.4 directory
e.g. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4/ which not only
sets kernel to 2.4 but also makes other changes to stay compatible e.g.
setting headers to 2.4 and setting dev-manager to devfsd instead of
udev. So switch your /etc/make.profile symlink to a 2.4 profile and all
will be happy. The wonders of Gentoo stackable profiles, indeed.
