Short easy answers, mostly true, you CAN workaround some, but take as 
absolutely true:

To build a module you must have the kernel source.

If you make cloneconfig you do not clone the current kernel, so you can't make 
a module for it, error message above [snip] comment

EITHER change the build to the current kernel name

OR build a 'clone' of the current kernel, make modules_install, and boot that 
kernel (with its new name). 'cause the kernel is 'identical' you do not need 
to remake the initrd.

Then build fuse.

With ubuntu you can install kernel-headers, you don't need to build the 
kernel, but I have never made the -obj stuff work like that with SuSE.

So: To build fuse you need the kernel source of the running kernel. The 
modules will then work under that running kernel.
