Seems to build OK for me (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-i386) ...

Did it build OK for previous 5.1 kernels?

Do you know where it is picking include/linux/utsname.h from? - it 
should be:

  /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/build/include/linux/utsname.h

(which is really under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-x86_64)

Where does the output of configure say about this?
