When building the kernel if there is a space " " in the path the build fails. Below is example output. (don't ask about the "Cobol" its scary enough as it is :-/). The build that FTBFS was performed before any kernel modifications were made. The issue is likely an unquoted path string somewhere. The real path name is: "~/projects/Cobol Files/locks/kernel_mod/linux-source-2.6.15-2.6.15" which as you can see below gets borked b/c of the space. Once the space was removed from the path the build worked just fine.
