unable to compile kernel module on 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp

Binary package hint: linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp

On my ps3 running ubuntu, I installed linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp which also installed linux-ports-headers-2.6.25-2 and after the installation attempted to compile a custom kernel module I use for my project and cannot get it to compile at all.

With the package provided setup after typing 'make' I get:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp/build M=/home/nssal/mod modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp'
make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I then looked around and noticed that inside /usr/src/linux-ports-headers-2.6.25-2 there was a Makefile and what appeared to be valid header file, so I symlinked build to this directory, but Make complained that the headers did not match the compiled kernel etc so it would compile this way either. This same approach, installing linux-headers-<kernel-version> has allowed me to run my kernel module on ubuntu x86 and x86_64 across many kernels, but I cannot get a kernel module to compile at all on the ps3.
