I had this same thing happen a week ago straight from the original sources.
Moving the #endif from below those definitions to here got it working for me:

#ifndef PT_PAX_FLAGS
#define PT_PAX_FLAGS    0x65041580
#endif

Created attachment 25839 [details, diff]
paxctl.h changes

just to clarify what makes it compile successfully here.
without it, all of my 2.6 machines fail with the same error messages.

PF_RANDMMAP, PF_NORANDMMAP were not defined in the very first testing patch that
your using. I spotted this and it was fixed before it ever went into gentoo's 
glibc. You can edit your system's elf.h for yourself and add entry 14,15 for 
yourself or recompile all of glibc from whats currently in the rsync tree.

+#define PF_RANDMMAP	(1 << 14)	/* Enable  RANDMMAP */
+#define PF_NORANDMMAP	(1 << 15)	/* Disable RANDMMAP */

ok, my bad.

its things like this that make me not like putting patches in FILESDIR...
