Edit the checkinstall script. Add OpenLinux manually:
# Find out the RPM source directory path

if ! [ "$RPMSOURCEDIR" ]; then
   RPMSOURCEDIR="NOT-FOUND"
   for directory in packages redhat RedHat rpm RPM OpenLinux "" ; do
    [ -d /usr/src/${directory}/SOURCES ] && 
RPMSOURCEDIR="/usr/src/${directory}"
   done
fi
