In Debian, put each of the named modules on a separate line in /etc/modules.

Your errors have nothing to do with make-kpkg. There was an error compiling
the module /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/abi/svr4/sysi86.o. When that failed
it caused all of the error messages you posted.

If you can get the stuff to compile it should work as well with kernel-pkg
as without it.
