I think you ment newer.

Since you're trying to build a kernel module, ignore the posts about 
glibc-kernheaders.

Why not use on of the configs from 2.4.20-2.21? Some stuff has probbly 
changed.
You'll need to run 2.4.20-2.21 anyway.

That won't get you far.  you need

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-2.21
make xconfig

Why do you want a complely new kernel?

Is the module you are trying to add part of the kernel or an addon you 
got somewhere else?

If it's and add on you just need to
cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-<your arch>.config .config
make oldconfig
make dep

to get the headers setup properly and then build the module according to 
the instruction they provide.
