You appear to be missing much of the kernel source. If you cd .../kernel-source-2.2.17 as you did above, and then ls include you should see asm asm-generic asm-mips asm-sparc math-emu video asm-alpha asm-i386 asm-ppc asm-sparc64 net asm-arm asm-m68k asm-s390 linux scsi though it doesn't matter if there's no "asm" as the first entry (that's what ln -sf creates).
