The only things I can think of are mod versions and / or your module
utilities.  The reason I mention mod versions is because kernel_flag
is supposed to be defined by your kernel.  It probably is.  (grep
/proc/ksyms)

In any case I think modversions cause more trouble than they prevent.
I suggest building without.  (That's my build environment anyway and
my Makefiles are likely wrong for an environment with modversions.)

As far as the module utilites go, I've had success w/ versions 2.1.85
and 2.1.121.
