Eh? You *are* supposed to pass the path to the linux source tree.
In your case, if you have a full linux source tree under
/home/aaronl/src/linux (this means for example that the MAINTAINERS
file resides at /home/aaronl/src/linux/MAINTAINERS), then you are
supposed to run configure with the argument
--with-linux-source=/home/aaronl/src/linux
Then, the Makefile will append '/include' and pass the option
-I /home/aaronl/src/linux/include to the compiler.
The #include statement above will then find the file
/home/aaronl/src/linux/include/linux/config.h
like it is supposed to ...
