Ray, if you download the full tar for a current kernel (well, 2.4 and 2.5 anyway), you should find that it extracts into linux-2.4.20 (or wherever), so its own scripts *ought* to work. I wonder if Richard has inadvertently deleted /usr/src/linux in preparation for the build, in which case recreating it might work (but if it's necessary, it kind of sounds like it should contain the headers used to build glibc).
