linus says any old place will do. the critical issue is that the path 
to /usr/src/linux (actually, some headers therein) not change from 
those against which your glibc was built. there's no compelling 
reason why you can't build it in your home directory, though i don't 
do that. what i usually do is rename /usr/src/linux to 
/usr/src/linux[version] (as in /usr/src/linux-2.2.16) and then open 
the new kernel source in /usr/src, which creates another (and wrong) 
/usr/src/linux. which i then rename, to, say, /usr/src/linux-2.2.18. 
then you can rename 2.2.16 back to linux, or you can make a symbolic 
link pointing to 2.2.16. i do the latter, but i'm a glutton for 
punishment and therefore rebuild my glibc fairly reghularly, too, 
which isn't something i'd wish on anyone else.
