Ignore everything after the first error.  You put regular single-quotes
around the -f test.  I'm guessing you meant to put back-ticks around it.
Like this:

	gcc -DMODULE -D KERNEL -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c
	`[ -f /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
	echo -DMODVERSIONS`

If your shell is bash, I recommend avoiding this confusion by using $()
instead of back-ticks.  Like this:

	gcc -DMODULE -D KERNEL -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c
	$([ -f /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
	echo -DMODVERSIONS)
