The Official RedHat Kernel might also balk at the ACL patches during
compilation so you might be better getting a newer kernel from
www.kernel.org.  Then you need to ask yourself what those patches that
Redhat used were for.... ;)

I'd get a newer kernel, if I were you. :) And then apply the patch.
