Except that wont work properly, because the key_alloc test failure
wont turn off keyring support. The test for whether or not to
use the keyring is based PURELY on the existence of keyctl() and
request_key().

WHICH 2.6.9 rhel kernel? There are a dozen of them, and I only have
one, 2.6.9-5. I can't test it on all of them, and I don't have the
"state 2" kernel (see my previous email) which is causing this particular
build issue.
