You shouldn't have to do this - maybe just maybe playing with symlinks 
can help build some old out of tree stuff, but you shouldn't need to do 
it here.

I don't know what distros do nowadays (use LFS myself), but the very 
existance of /usr/src/linux link to tree is depreciated.

Why do you need to build a new tc - unless you need the latest features 
your distro should already have it & I think it should work with a new 
kernel.

If you really need it, I assume you have built your own 2.6.20.3?

Where is it, what did you do? If after configuring/building it you 
cleaned with make mrproper that will be too clean to build against - 
make clean should be OK.

I would expect tc to fail - you need the git version.

Generally if I have the tar and fail a build I just delete and start 
again - not saying that will help in this case.

If your distro has git already installed great - if not you can get it 
from here

http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.5.0.5.tar.bz2

install where you want - see INSTALL

to get the iproute2 git do -

git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git

(as one line) and it will get the latest iproute2 tree for you.
