I don't know anything about this, but I found a few similar situations on google. Here's a mailing list that had a few recommendations.

You may want to try an AA patch.

ftp://ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kern....4.18rc4aa1.gz

From /home/scott/junk/linux/linux:
gunzip ../2.4.18rc4aa1.gz && patch -Np1 -i ../2.4.18rc4aa1

AA patch is a pretty comprehensive patch. Includes many of my favorite
patches including PTE and Himem. Even if it doesn't work. It's a
must-have patch.

Aside from that though, looks like you may have conflicts with your
kernel optimizations and the libc you are using. You could do a few
things in this case.

Copy include/linux to /usr/include or find out what your CFLAGS are at
compile time. Is Dev86 installed?

CTRLALTDEL(8)						       System Administration						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME

       ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination

SYNOPSIS

       ctrlaltdel hard|soft

DESCRIPTION

       Based  on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can
       perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft  reset,
       which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1).  If this option is used, the init(8)
       program must support this feature.  Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult	the  documentation
       for the version that you are currently using.

       ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Display help and exit.

FILES

       /etc/rc.local

SEE ALSO

       init(8)

AUTHOR

AVAILABILITY

       The  ctrlaltdel	command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils
       /util-linux/>.
