Stupidly my kernel headers package was not downloaded. PCITAG has a kernel library feel. (im a python dev) installing the headers.. which i should do anyway if im rolling my own debs.
UPDATE: this experiment failed. the headers did not allow me to compile this module. see below for kernel log. jason@dev-machine:/usr/local/src/xserver-xorg-video-sis$ uname -a Linux dev-machine 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 26 19:39:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux jason@dev-machine:/usr/local/src/xserver-xorg-video-sis$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.0-47-generic Reading package lists...
