Problem installing module-init-tools

Question

Trying to install module-init-tools-0.9.12 (so I can try the 2.5.70 kernel) yields this dissapointing output:

Is there anyone who has this working who can point me in the right direction?
(Sorry for the long output but I thought it may prove helpful).

...live life on the edge...that's me! LOL
Making a symlink did the trick.
I'll try to edit the Makefile and see if can get that to work too before I submit this as a package.
Oh, and of course I have to figure out how make a package in the first place.
So....I guess I should go do some reading eh?
Thanks.
