You can have diferent dirs linux2.0.xx in /usr/src. But before you start
compiling /usr/src/linux should point to the directory of the source
tree you are going to compile. You should also rename
/lib/modules/2.0.xx in order to make "make modules_install" create a
clean new directory only containing the freshly compiled modules. Don't
forget to edit /etc/conf.modules if necessary.
