I think your prob is in the gcc command where you are mentioning the
include directory like this /lib/modules/2.4.20/"uname
-r"/build/include but that must be like /lib/modules/"uname
-r"/build/include b/c I never found 2.4.20 directory in /lib/modules/
rather found 2.4.20-8 directory ...
You can also give include path like /usr/src/linux-2.4/include
The above thing will work, if you are using default
(un-altered/not-recompiled) kernel
