This output is from trying to build against a built, but not installed kernel:
KLIB=/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/../linux/build/kernel/lib/modules/3.8.13-orc
\
KLIB_BUILD=/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/../linux/build/kernel
\
make -j8 EXTRAVERSION= V=1 -C compat-drivers modules
make[1]: Entering directory
`/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/compat-drivers'

As Johannes posted, I suspect it is something to do with the .local-symbols
However, I'm not sure how this gets built, in the case of a kernel
that is not installed.
Any advice is appreciated.
