Bob,
I ran into the same problem just the other day. I fixed the problem by
creating a symlink from 2.2.16 to linux like so:
ln -s 2.2.16 linux
This fixed the problem. Now, what does the error msg mean? Well, my best
guess (I'm not a programer) is that gcc was told by split-include.c to
get the header file errno.h from the standard header directory
(/usr/include/). This file calls bits/errno.h (in /usr/inclued/). I
believe this header file is then copied to the source tree using the
path /usr/src/linux. No "linux" directory, instant error msg. Again,
this is just an "educated" guess from looking at the source.
