Well from what I have observed this makes a difference because in config.mak 

KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34-obj/i386/default

This gets included in the kernel/Makefile and when make reaches

KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

KERNELDIR is already set (to default) so it does not set it to /build. Now when
it does

INSTALLDIR = $(patsubst %/build, %/extra, $(KERNELDIR)))

nothing gets replaced since there is no 'build' to replace. So nothing gets
installed in /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/extra/ and hence modprobe fails.

if I replace ?= with := it KERNELDIR is changed to /lib/modules/$(shell uname
-r)/build and hence we get the INSTALLDIR for the /extra.

I will try to send the log for ./configure , make , make install.

Thanks
