Did you do these steps?

        make mrproper
        cp configs/kernel-2.4.22-i686.config .config
        make oldconfig (necessary for certain buggy systems)
        make menuconfig
        make dep
        export CC=gcc32    <--- important step when you get this far
        make clean
        modify /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile for version name (optional)
        make bzImage modules modules_install
        make install
