The method I use is to install the source to the kernel
version and make a link to /usr/src/linux. Example:

cd /usr/src
rm linux
tar xzf linux-2.0.35.tar.gz
mv linux linux-2.0.35
ln -s linux-2.0.35 linux

This means I can have several trees in /usr/src and a 
link to the one I want to compile.

You would be much better of using XFree 3.3.2.3 . The simplest
way to do this is to grab the proper rpm files from Redhat
and do an rpm -Uvh XFree*.rpm. Download all the rpm files
to a single directory.

It seems that now that ETA has declared a ceasefire
you want to start a Holy War here ;-) I wish you
luck.
