I assume you are using mga_vid from the MPlayer cvs.

Then it's most probably that you compiled mga_vid against the
wrong kernel. The Makefile assumes that you want to compile
mga_vid for the currently running kernel and that it has
a /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build directory. IIRC 2.4.20
does not yet have one, thus you have to change the KERNEL_DIR
variable at the beginning of the Makefile to somehting like
this:
KERNEL_DIR = /usr/src/linux/
