Presumably there isn't a Makefile in /usr/src/Linux?
If you've done a "make clean" or something similar in the linux source
directory (or if you've never built a kernel), you'll have to
re-generate at least the files required to build modules. Try doing
"make modules_prepare" in your linux source directory.
The full story is in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt sectio 2.
