I suddenly realised the /usr/src/linux symlink should
point to kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/include - as that
dir has a subdir linux which contains the needed .h
file.
I did the following:

    ln -s kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/ linux
...
    cd
modules/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123

    make            
    make > /usr/src/new-error.txt

...

Unfortunately, after some compiling stuff the Makefile
suddenly stopped again with this as last output before
the error. 
Now I really have no idea what this means anymore :-(

ld -r -o NVdriver Module-linux Module-nvkernel
