Well, in the past I have received similar īpackagesī to compile the module
outside the kernel. And they all suffered from the same problem: the
presented Makefiles were specific for their system. The options passed to
gcc vary from system to system, depending on your processor & options you
selected for your kernel; plus you need a little -I trickery. So this is a
very dangerous thing to do, and I have rejected every offer so far.

So my advice: patch your kernel sources like a real man :)
