it is. sorry for long reply, it took me some time to track it down.
turned out, the script also does `prepare' and `kernelrelease'. so
the sequence of commands in my build script is

	make prepare
	make kernelrelease
# functon build
	make -j4
# finction package
	make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=XXXX modules_install


now. the problem here is that, apparently, and I didn't know that,
"make prepare" and "make kernelrelease" are executed twice.

- first time when I build the kernel
 make prepare
 make kernelrelease
 make -j4

- second time when I install the modules
 make prepare
 make kernelrelease
 make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=XXXX modules_install


so this will not install modules:
 make prepare; make kernelrelease; make -j4; make prepare; make kernelrelease; make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/MODULES modules_install

and this will:
 make prepare; make kernelrelease; make -j4; make kernelrelease; make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/MODULES modules_install

yes.

!CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS or !865563924022d8 builds just fine with extra
`make prepare'.
no `extra make prepare' builds ok regardless the state of Makefile/config
files.

I guess you don't need my .config any more.
