This output is from trying to build against a built, but not installed kernel: KLIB=/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/../linux/build/kernel/lib/modules/3.8.13-orc \ KLIB_BUILD=/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/../linux/build/kernel \ make -j8 EXTRAVERSION= V=1 -C compat-drivers modules make[1]: Entering directory `/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-precise/orc-kernel/compat-drivers' /-------------- | You shouldn't run make in the backports tree, but only in | the generated output.

Any advice is appreciated.
