Well,
I don't know how you could compile this code at all. I went to fetch a tar
ball
for 2.2.17 and I still get
checksum.S: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
I am at a COMPLETE LOSS here ! looks like the code is not compatible with my
compiler.
and I am completely suck now...

Yuck. Well, what about trying to install the kernel from a tarball instead?
I've actually never seen any advantage to using the RPM-ified version of the
kernel source to begin with.
I don't know what would cause a de-installed package to produce conflict
errors;
that sounds like an RPM error. But you didn't list what the errors were, so
that's just a guess. And by the way, you didn't mistakenly install the 2.4
headers, they're there on purpose to aid migration from 2.2 to 2.4, or so I
understand, but the details elude me.
As for the "could not paste" warnings, I get those myself, in the midst of
compiles which are successful. I think they're safe to ignore; warning
messages
from the compiler are pretty much a fact of life where C programming is
concerned, and often have no bearing on the success or failure of the
process.
