Yes, there is a version conflict. The 2.6.24 kernel still uses an old
dts format, which is incompatible with recent dtc versiosn.

Is there any specific reson for you to use the old 2.6.24 kernel?

If not, I'd recommend that you clone the git repository and use recent
code - this will build fine with current versions of the dtc.
