User started "make modules" is doomed to fail, because Makefile works like
this:
(1) user types "make" command. ciphers package Makefile determines kernel
source location and calls kernel's Makefile
(2) kernel's Makefile sets up $(CFLAGS) $(CC) $(LD) and other important
definitions required to compile kernel modules. Kernel Makefile then
calls ciphers package Makefile using "make modules".
(3) ciphers Makefile is called using "make modules" and all kernel
definitions are now correctly set. Modules can now be compiled and
installed with correct tools and parameters.

You can specify installation target root directory by specifiying
INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/path/to/install/root parameter to make.
