OK, this seems to be the problem:
modutils before 2.4.10 don't know about EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.


Please upgrade modutils on fsa01 and report whether it fixes the 
problem.


If this was the problem, the patch below should be sufficient
(modutils 2.4.10 isn't a very strong dependency - even Debian stable 
ships 2.4.15).


<--  snip  -->


For support of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, at least modutils 2.4.10 is required.
