Can someone point me to how routing is done in the 2.4 kernel?
My net-tools don't work anymore (specifically route fails to produce the
routing table). I look around a bit in the kernel sources and notice
things have changed. What kind of options are there now to influence the
routing table?

p.s. I also noticed that the rtable struct in include/route.h has an extra
element squeezed in (inet_peer has been added). The version of route.h is
however the same as that of the 2.2.16 kernel. I would say that this
change justifies mentioning. How strict is the versioning of files in the
kernel sources?

My net-tools v1.56 that comes with Red Hat 7 works fine.
If you want to take full advantage of all the networking features, you
need to use iproute2.

I downloaded and compiled them and they don't work as well.
What am I missing here?

Try recompiling the kernel with "advanced routing" "policy routing" and
"netlink" turned on.
