Wojtek and Hal,
Thanks very much for your replies. After your posts I was able to get
the result I wanted. It would appear that inexperience was my biggest
problem here :-) However, I still found that other tweeks became
necessary as a result of your suggestion. For example I needed to modify
the %setup entry to include
-n kernel-2.4.20-18
in order to end up the the right tar layout for inclusion in the
package. I also had to fiddle with the Makefile to glue the thing
together correctly - beats me why it isn't distributed this way in the
first place ? Perhaps there's a better way to achieve the same result
(probably!)
Anyway, thanks very much for your help.

The key issue is with the embedded '-' sign in the the 'Version:' part
There isn't an embedded '-' in the version. That's the separator
between the version and the release. Use:
version: 2.4.20
release: 18.7
in your spec file.
