Our installer does _not_ issue 'make mrproper' and I don't see any 'mrproper'
word in your log. What our installer (and /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as well)
does is:

 * create a temporary directory in /tmp, in your example /tmp/vbox.5
 * copy all files there
 * build the kernel module by executing 

     make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-1mdv/build 
SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.5 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.5 modules

   in your case
 * install the kernel module if the compilation succeeded
 * clear the temporary directory

Sorry, I still don't see the problem.

Kind regards,

Frank
