I think you forgot to run make mrproper as very first step
Created attachment 81204 [details] standard out and stardard error from module compilation
Created attachment 81205 [details] kernel configuration
7 years of compiling kernels and I guess I still don't know how to do them. You were right about my failure to make mrproper. Thanks and sorry for bothering you.
