It changes quite a few things across the kernel, as far as I know. I've seen symbols being renamed between -generic and -rt before (e.g. there was a problem with building the nvidia module during the karmic alphas because of this, see bug #413296). It is possible that it's not a 2.6.32-specific feature that's missing, but a rename by the rt patch.

Ok, I'll assume this is a different problem then.
