Yeah, it's meant to be... But on a SuSE distribution I installed for ircd it
bunged all the sources in /usr/src/linux - not a symlink, just the directory.
Plus, IIRC, my linux2.2.2.tar.bz2 file unpacked itself into a linux directory
as well. *shrug*.

You too huh? ln --help isn't much help - SOURCE and DESTINATION - of *what*?
Your tar options looked OK to me, but I always gunzip and pipe or gunzip then
untar - just in case tar decompresses it wrongly. Paranoid? Who's paranoid?
