You're right, it was a Lustre kernel, I skipped that.
(http://www.clusterfs.com/downloads/public/Lustre/v1.6/Production/1.6.1/rhel-2.6-x86_64/kernel-lustre-source-2.6.9-55.EL_lustre_1.6.1.x86_64.rpm)

For the sake of completeness, I tried with the "real" RHEL4 kernel 
(kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.x86_64.rpm) and it compiled without any 
error.

So I guess the Lustre kernel source is packaged differently. It looks 
like it comes with its own drivers/base/base.h, while the Redhat kernel 
doesn't, which allows the ofa_kernel SRPM to use its own 
kernel_addons/backport/2.6.9_U5/include/src/base.h

Well, I'm not sure why it fails with the Lustre kernel, but that's 
indeed not an OFED problem. 

Sorry for the noise. :\
