in a fit of poor judgment, i tried to test the new 2.5.66 kernel
on my RH 8.0 box, and not only did it explode in glorious ways,
it made a mess of my nvidia setup.

  in recovering to an older, working kernel, i now find i can't
rebuild the NVIDIA kernel src rpms (loads of parse errors from
/usr/include files).

  i'm not sure why i'm getting compile-time errors when i've
never had them before, but i accidentally removed the kernel
source directory for the current good kernel, which means that
the sym link "/lib/modules/???/build" is now pointing at a 
non-existent kernel source directory under /usr/src (yes, i
was eventually going to get around to that).

  so, before i spend a lot of time on this, what is the function
of that symlink, and could having it point at a non-existent
kernel source directory be causing the rebuild of my NVIDIA
kernel src rpm to blow up with dozens of parse errors from
include files?

  (not having the kernel source directory for the current running
kernel doesn't affect anything else -- system runs fine otherwise.)
