Yes indeed.

Actually there is a build directory at least as far back as 2.4.14.
My problem was that I was trying to build the wrong mga_vid, the
one in the vidix/drivers directory. Looking for KERNEL_DIR gave me
the clue to that, so thanks!
It's still a bit of a mystery why it broke in the first place. Maybe
I wasn't running the kernel I thought I was.
