ftape under kernel 2.4.20?

I've been trying to get ftape to compile with a stock RH9 2.4.20-8 kernel, and 
the snag I have is that it won't!  I get many messages about invalid 
preprocessor tokens when I try 'make'.  I have set all the path variables in 
MCONFIG to the correct values.  I hear that there is a macro problem with 
2.4.x kernels.  Is this correct and, more importantly, is there a way to get 
ftape 4.04a to work with 2.4.20 kernels?

This is probably the top FAQ on this list.

You need to use one of the recent development versions fetched from the 
ftape home page

http://www.instmath.rwth-aachen.de/~heine/ftape/archives/ftape-4.x/unstable/

This is probably the top FAQ on this list.

Yes, the main function this list provides these days is to tell people to 
get a current ftape after they've been frustrated with 4.04a.

It sure would be a great service to people if whoever has write access to 
the ftape web site would fix it (maybe by changing release numbers) so 
people can understand from the beginning which version of ftape to get.

Thanks for the pointer to the archives-I'm getting closer, but am not quite 
out of the woods yet.  I have tried several of the more recent versions, and 
after some merry compiling, all of them give me this:

In file included from ../lowlevel/ftape-tracing.h:35,
                 from fdc-internal.c:43:
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h: In function `ft_sigblockall':
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h:57: structure has no member named `sigmask_lock'
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h:60: too many arguments to function 
`recalc_sigpending_Rfb6af58d'
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h: In function `ft_sigrestore':
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h:65: structure has no member named `sigmask_lock'
../lowlevel/ftape-init.h:67: too many arguments to function 
`recalc_sigpending_Rfb6af58d'
make[2]: *** [fdc-internal.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_internal] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas?

If this helps you, last version I tried was 2002.03.21, and I can 
compile it succesfully under kernel 2.4.22. Did not try more recent 
versions.
