You said that your Makefile produced a .o file. Did it fail to produce the .ko file? Or did insmod fail? You probably can't run 'make' inside the LLC directory. I think you will have to either: 1) run 'make modules' in the root of the source, or 2) copy the directory to somewhere outside the source tree, modify the Makefile, and run 'make' as usual.
