Thanks for this hint. We seem to have two problems at stake here. The
-source packages used to use kmk to build the modules, but there
doesn't seem to be a reason for this, make seems to be the tool of
choice here. And, yes, with make it works.

However, IMO kbuild should handle the problem more gracefully. I don't
know whether kmk is supposed to be compatible with make, but even if not
it should give an error message if this is an incompatibility. I
wouldn't bet it is one though as the message suggests that there is a
difference between the real length and the stored one of a string
containing a variable name. Torsten?

P.S.: I will commit the needed changes as soon as I'm online again. With
this email going out automatically it might be faster. :-)
