Try the script below instead, it might not fix everything, but it's less
hit-and-miss than manually searching for a configuration backup that you
may not even have.
#!/bin/bash

echo 'You have a /usr/src/linux symlink, good.'
if [ "$(readlink /usr/src/linux)" == "linux-$(uname -r)" ]; then
echo 'It points to your running kernel, also good.'
else
echo "But, it points to the wrong place. I'll fix it."
ln -snf "linux-$(uname -r)" /usr/src/linux || exit 127

elif [ -e /usr/src/linux ]; then
echo 'You have a /usr/src/linux, but it is not a symlink.'
echo "Your system is broken, but I can't automatically fix it."
exit 1

echo "You don't have a /usr/src/linux, let me make one for you."
ln -snf "linux-$(uname -r)" /usr/src/linux || exit 127

if [ -r /proc/config.gz ]; then
echo 'You have a /proc/config.gz, good.'

echo "There's probably a permissions problem somewhere."
exit 1

exit 0

echo -n 'are different. You should build and install, as needed, this '
echo -n 'new configuration. After doing so, you should be able to '
echo -n 'compile out-of-tree modules, but they will not be usable until '
