lxr.linux.no says it'll work for 2.4.19 and I'm pretty sure that's the
oldest 2.4 we care about.  

I still don't know what's up with our fc 8 x86 box.  Actually, maybe
it's because of --enable-fast?  Well, I'll explicitly init ctl_name
and remove the ifdefs and we should be good.

Thanks for the feedback, Pete.
