Because you passed the wrong path to configure --kerneldir=

This probably should be stated more explicitly in the configure --help
comment for kerneldir, which should make it clear that the path MUST
be /lib/modules/*/build

If it's not, not only will the module install fail, so will KVERREL!

If you want the default behavior, configure without specifying
--kerneldir, don't override the user's choice with the default.

I use --kerneldir too.  When I'm upgrading a kernel, there should be
no need to reboot (changing uname) in order to build out-of-tree
modules, I should be able to prebuild everything and reboot
seamlessly.
