You seem to be missing your kernel source tree.
The external module needs to build against the linux source tree for
each version of the kernel. The way you do this is by keeping the
linux-* directory instead of deleting it. Customarily, the symlinks at
/lib/modules/$version/{build,source} are updated to point to the
location on disk where you've placed your configured source tree. You
can see at the beginning of the output that it's trying to change to
this directory:
> make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16.27/build
So, you'll have to rebuild a new kernel (grab the latest 2.6.16
version) and keep the directory. Update the symlinks in
/lib/modules/2.6.16.*/{build,source} and then you should be able to
restart this process with the realtek drivers.
