Why not compiling batctl and batman-adv on the beagleboard? This would make 
the whole procedure a looooo[...]ooot easier. Just install build-essential, 
libnl-3-dev, pkg-config and the linux-headers for your kernel.

I don't know what kernel you currently have installed and where it comes from. 
But one of the kernels for this board comes from paulliu [1] and he gives you 
the kernel headers for his kernel in the linux-headers package [2].

Otherwise you would need the same toolchain used to build the kernel, kernel 
headers, config, libraries, ... and a lot of time and nerves. And when kernel 
headers and toolchain is not provided for your kernel then you have to build 
your own kernel anyway and then you can build your module against it [3].

Kind regards,
