Read your original error messages again.  You're not running into
compile problems; you're running into problems with depmod.  It
*compiled* correctly for you under make-kpkg, just as it does for
you with "make dep && make && make modules".  But make-kpkg does
more than just those things; it also verifies that your module set
will work through depmod, and in your case it runs into trouble.
If after "make dep && make && make modules" you tried to *install
and run* that kernel/module set, you'd have run into the same
trouble, I'd bet.  Right about when it ran depmod in order to
build the dependency file for modprobe to use.

So what about all the rest of the stuff I typed; was it helpful?
