Well...hmm, what doesn't work?  You mean you can't build a kernel
unless you make /usr/src/linux point to the kernel source you're
building?  This is odd, as I haven't done that...ever!  In fact,
there's no directories in /usr/src on my machine.

I'm confused, as I've built many kernels on a redhat box here (intel,
but that shouldn't matter) without every updating the symlink, or
using /usr/src to build inside.

I tend to have very large amounts of kernel source laying around, and
I don't like to clutter my /usr partition with them...
