Subject: [Buildroot] Kernel module compiled but not found

Hello,
I read the official documentation and this tutorial:

http://blog.willygroup.org/buildroot-aggiungere-modulo-al-kernel.html#fn-729-1

to add a custom kernel module.
It seems it is successfully compiled but I cannot find the .ko file in 
the Buildroot tree.
This is the relevant output:

As you can see, there are no errors but I'm not sure the module is 
correctly installed!
According to the tutorial I should find it in:

buildroot_folder/output/target/lib/modules/kernel_version/extra/

but mine is empty.

How investigate further?
Thanks
Mark
