I agree.. Very confusing output.. I would guess there's a check missing if the
kernel has module support or not when configure is run...
However, compiling the kernel modules are the last part of the make and should
not affect the binaries that are usefull neither the wacom_drv.so (it should
have been linked just before entering .../linuxwacom-0.7.4-3/src/wacomxi).
So, everything should be built and ready except that you can't 'make install'
it.. Hmm...
What if you do something like the patch below does? I'm pretty sure you'll
have to apply it manually, but what it should do is skipping the module
compilation part. And then you should be able to 'make install' it. I'll try
to make a patch of this which will do it the 'right' way in a few days.

If you can't get the make to go through, it is always possible to copy the
binaries to the right places by hand...
Hope this fix your compilation problems
