But the issue remain the same:
$ make

O=/home/lexa/module/build_x86 modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/lexa/linux'

  WARNING: Symbol version dump ./Module.symvers

Please run make modules from the top level directory of your source tree and and then module.symvers will be generated.

If for some reason make modules did not create module.symvers then try:

        cd /home/lexa/linux
        make
        [wait a few minutes as it builds some scripts and starts building kernel code...]
        hit <Ctrl-C>

then go back and try building your module.
