Too little input.
The real error messages are before the lines you have cited.

Generally to build kernel you must have binutils, gcc, glibc-devel and
ncurses-devel packages.

It won't work, even if it would build. Don't bother (unless you have
enough knowledge to fix the issue).
Win4Lin conflicts with some other feature from our kernel24, probably
grsecurity.
We've tested 2.4.26-1 built --with win4lin - such kernel booted, but
running win4lin caused whole machine to reboot.
Vanilla 2.4.26 with Win4Lin patches works.
