Two points:

1) RedHat does not link its kernel sources to /usr/src/linux, rather, to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4 (and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build).

You need to specify the kernel source like so:

make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14 oldmod

That won't work, though, because the kernel has never been configured. At a 
bare minimum, copy the relevant config for your architecture from the configs 
subdirectory in Redhat's kernel source.

2) You can download binary RedHat RPMs for your currently running kernel using
the following command:

ncftpget ftp://ftp.xs4all.nl/pub/crypto/freeswan/binaries/RedHat-RPMs/`uname-r`/\*
