You'll need the header files that linksys used which may or may not be
different to the 2.4.10 vanilla kernel headers

for the wrt54g you can get the right code for your FW rev here.

Here's a page about tools
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/index.php/Toolchains

You might need an older toolchain to build 2.4 kernels.
Anyone have any success on build 2.4.x with gcc 3.x?

Don't take my word for it though I've been using a recentish gcc-3.4.1
built using uclibc's buildroot to build 
It was pretty easy to get working and install.

For our 2.4 kernels I used a montavista toolchain for the last few
years. mvista.com requires you register.

Happy hacking
