I think there is a misunderstanding. I think what you mean is, 
make include/linux/version.h will only work, if /usr/include/linux
points to the linux 2.1 source tree, and not to the linux 2.0 source
tree.
I have my kernel sources under /src/Linux, and /usr/include/linux points
to the current linux kernel headers, so it works for me without 
problems.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
