Actually, all is well again  :)
It was never a panic, as nothing in a day-to-day functional sense was 
broken.  Just my ability to build new kernels and the like

Done.  All recent Redhat (7.x and higher) releases do not do this, so 
its highly unlikely that most folks will run into this bit of symlinking 
madness unless they're using a distro that dates back to the 2.2.x 
kernel days.  I just happen to have two boxes that do (one is RH-6.2, 
the other started off as Caldera-2.2, and has been hand upgraded quite a 
lot since then).
