Clara,

You cannot make the module on ubuntu and expect it to work in Astlinux. 
  Astlinux has it's own development environment and uses cross-compiling 
against uclibc, not glibc.

If you read Chris's comments, the via-velocity module is already 
included in Astlinux.  All you need to do is edit the rc.modules file 
and include via-velocity.

Please read the development information on http://www.astlinux.org for 
more specific information about the development environment.
