Using either way if the method is applied correctly the compile should be ok
provided you have installed all the required software.
 In your case you appear to not have installed 'module_init_tools'. This is
esential for 2.6.x series of kernels .

Apt-get install module_init-tools should fix the error msg and hopefully the
problem.
