Finally!
Thanks to all who offered suggestions. The final solution was to fire up
Yast2, delete _everything_ in the "developement" section of the install,
then re-install the lot from the original distribution disk.
I've now happily got a 2.4.14 kernel compiling as I type.
Yay. Sheesh. Assorted other words I'm too polite to type.
