Does this go any way towards explaining why it seems to be getting harder and harder to build modules outside of the kernel source tree while still leveraging the kernel build mechanism? I've been using a method for this based on what David Woodhouse suggested a while back, and it works for 2.4.x kernels and 2.5.x kernels up to 2.5.69. 2.5.70 seems to have presented another wrinkle to overcome. Is the ability to build modules located outside of the kernel source tree a consideration at all in the kernel module build process, or am I going down the wrong path with this?
