PROBLEM: "make dep" fails for version 2.4.18-5

Just got the 2.4.18-5 patched from Redhat.  The "make
dep" failes somewhere in the middle of the process. 
The error message indicates

xargs -f .....

The -f is a wrong option for the xargs.  The ver_linux
output is attached.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Frank

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
