building out of tree modules with 2.6.0-test8

Hi,

Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt on 2.6.0-test8-bk says:

"Compiling modules outside the official kernel
---------------------------------------------
Often modules are developed outside the official kernel. To keep up with changes in the build system the most portable way to compile a module outside the kernel is to use the following command-line:

make -C path/to/kernel/src SUBDIRS=$PWD modules"

However, trying this yields:

"make[1]: Entering directory `/home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5' *** Warning: Overriding SUBDIRS on the command line can cause
*** inconsistencies
make[2]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
Building modules, stage 2.
/home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5/scripts/Makefile.modpost:17:
*** Uh-oh, you have stale module entries. You messed with SUBDIRS, /home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5/scripts/Makefile.modpost:18:
do not complain if something goes wrong.
MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5'

What is the correct way to build out of tree modules? if there isn't a correct way, any pointers on how to go about adding support for it?

Thanks,
Muli
