/lib/modules/2.4.whatever/build should be a Symlink to the kernel
sources.  Here's what it looks like on my system:

weiss at taw27:~$ ll /lib/modules/2.4.19/
         21 Sep 17 13:14 build -> /usr/src/linux-2.4.19

To create the link, use something like:

ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.whatever
/lib/modules/2.4.whatever/build

AFAIK, this symlink is created for you when you run "make
modules_install" in the kernel source dir.  If you're using a packaged
kernel (i.e. you didn't compile it for yourself) it might not exist.
