Both autoconf.h and atomic.h are included in the kernel-source RPM package:

[bellet@helix src]$ rpm -qf /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.9/include/linux/autoconf.h
kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9
[bellet@helix src]$ rpm -qf /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.9/include/asm/atomic.h
kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9

IIRC, the symlink /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.4 is not automatically
created in the RH9. Maybe you should check that this link exists ?

*But*, there're other compilation issues with the RH kernel, related
to a missing current->sigmask_lock member in 2.4.20.

Best wishes,
