/lib/modules/default -> /lib/modules/`uname -r` so modutils will scan
all of /lib/modules/`uname -r`. That includes the new build symlink so
you will end up treating all of /usr/src/linux (or wherever) as modules,
not nice.

I am redesigning the directory scan for modutils 2.3.14 to avoid this
problem. Until that is available, either point the paths to the
subdirectories only or "rm -f /lib/modules/default/build".
