As you obviously completely ignored my previous point, I'll reiterate it.

1. You run Linus' split-into-config.in script on a 2.4 tree.
2. You add whatever Config.ins have been updated to the 2.4 config.ins
3. You regenerate with the find example I showed in the other mail.

There. 2.4 Configure.help up to date with latest symbols, but
containing none of the 2.5 ones.
