 Done, and I didn't find anything about 'patch' :-(

 Nothing there. One proof more that it has failed.

 I will uninstall all source packages, install clean versions from a 
2.4.20, and run the compilation as root. That at least should work...

 BTW, which package shall I use to have the recent patches to improve 
responsivness ? kernel-patch-ck ? lowlatency (and which version ??) ? 
preempt ? I've found all these :

 kernel-patch-2.4-lowlatency
kernel-patch-2.4-preempt
kernel-patch-lowlatency-2.4
