Trying to rebuild single modules gets into a mess

[alan@pyx linux-psbdev]$ make drivers/staging/mrst/pvr/psb_gfx.ko
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh

  CC [M]  drivers/staging/mrst/pvr/../drv/psb_intel_lvds.o
  LD [M]  drivers/staging/mrst/pvr/psb_gfx.o
  MODPOST 1 modules

undefined!

The box has lots of modules but it seems the MODPOST stage when you build
a single .ko target erroneously only gets processed for that module,
which goes wrong as a result.

It works fine here with 2.6.38-rc5 and ext3.ko:

$ touch fs/ext3/namei.c
$ make O=/dev/shm/build fs/ext3/ext3.ko
  Using /labs/mmarek/linux-2.6 as source for kernel
  GEN     /dev/shm/build/Makefile
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    /labs/mmarek/linux-2.6/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC [M]  fs/ext3/namei.o
  LD [M]  fs/ext3/ext3.o
  MODPOST 3065 modules
WARNING: modpost: Found 56 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
  LD [M]  fs/ext3/ext3.ko
$

Where do I find the psb_gfx driver? I don't see it in linux-next.
