thanks alot. That brought me on the right track.  Manual appliing the
kernel patches from the components directories wasn't a good idea at all
(that messed up the includes in the kernel tree). 

Initially i was confused because i used the separate component tarballs
from the above url and they lack the main Makefile for all components
(which is included in CVS and contains the right order to build the
components).

Today i fetched the CVS snapshot from 

    http://people.redhat.com/cfeist/cluster/cvs_snapshots/

and just ran "configure" and "make install" from the contained cluster/
directory and everything went fine. Yippiee!, up on my way to the next
obstacles =).
