I've attached the Makefile as I have it so far, and I've also attached the output from make ... V=2. The Makefile is a canonical multi-object-file module makefile, with some extra trappings for version stamping and my source code management.
When I look at the object files, NONE of the generated *.o files contains a .modinfo section, even though there are MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); lines in the linux.c source file.
Incidentally, the source files in the ../libvidforio directory are generic, so do not include any kernel header files.
