Seems as though there's a compile error on IP Masquerading. Do you need IP
Masq? If not, do a make (x|menu)config and remove it.
If you're still getting errors try a different kernel source (this is what I do, I've never managed to compile a kernel successfully on RH from the stock source), and interestingly, never failed on any other source.

P.S. ip_masq.o? You could also try upgrading your modutils package.
