Ahh, ok, that explains a lot. It's likely that in Paul's original problem, the cross-compile situation, the copy of Module.symvers being used was from the wrong arch (another case where /lib/modules/... isn't arch-aware), or not present. So, dkms --kernelsourcedir=/path/to/build needs to have the appropriate Module.symvers file in /path/to/build/Module.symvers.
