Yes.

It looks like the problem is that in kernel.c the definition of
"active_load_balance" is surrounded by #if CONFIG_SHARE_RUNQUEUE, but
the actual call to that function on line 1712 is not in such an #if.

Also, some weirdness when debugging this:

cp configs/kernel-2.4.22-i686.config ./.config
grep CONFIG_SHARE_RUNQUEUE .config #nothing
make oldconfig
grep CONFIG_SHARE_RUNQUEUE .config #set to "y"
make xconfig
<save without making any changes>
grep CONFIG_SHARE_RUNQUEUE .config #nothing again!

The same happens for "make menuconfig"
