follow Alex's suggestion and build TUX the following way:

 cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31/
 make modules
 make modules_install

you cannot build TUX (tux.o) separately at the moment, but if the kernel
is compiled already then 'make modules' should skip over the non-TUX
sections pretty quickly.

you can build the .o files separately, eg:

 cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31/
 make net/tux/proto_http.o

the TUX Makefile does not handle the target. I found no trivial solution
for this, so a workaround is to save all the gcc commands that 'make
modules' generates into a separate script and call that script to compile
& link your tux.o file as quickly as possible.
