Downloaded 2.1.X kernels trees from archive sites (http://www.linuxhq.com/).
Then check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes which tells you what
versions of what you need, and how to find out which you have.

2.1.45 said I needed:

- Kernel modules         modutils-970104
- Gnu C                  2.7.2.1
- Binutils               2.7.0.3
- Linux C Library        5.4.17
- Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.8.5
- Linux C++ Library      2.7.2.1
- Procps                 1.01
- SysVinit               2.69
- Mount                  2.5p
- Net-tools              1.32-alpha
- Kbd                    0.91
 
>From Debian 1.3, I needed:

binutils_2.8.1-2.deb
libbfd2.8.1_2.8.1-2.deb
libc6_2.0.4-1.deb
mount_2.6g-2.deb

Actually, binutils_2.8.1-2.deb wasn't quite enough, so I followed
instructions to download and install the required version in the Changes 
file.

I successfully compiled many 2.1.X versions after this.

Good luck!
