Here is how I got away with it.
I usually untar a kernel under /usr/src so that I'll have /usr/src/linux.
This directory is just a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux-2.2.16.
When you first untar it, you'll notice that there is no modules directory under it. The /usr/src/linux/modules will be created once you recompile your kernel with modules support.
Since your linux has been recompiled before, possibility is that you already have that directory.
To get rid of the error once you recompile it again, just rename it.
mv /usr/src/linux/modules /usr/src/linux/old-modules
