[Novalug] kernel module building on Fedora

It appears that things are different for Fedora in preparing the kernel 
to build modules.

In the past (non-Fedora)
    cd /usr/src/linux
    make oldconfig
    make modules_prepare

Well, there is an extra level
    cd /usr/src/kernel/<version>
    make oldconfig
    make modules_prepare
    .... dies and complains about missing-syscalls

Searching wasn't too helpful.

So I thought I would ask before I start looking around and figuring out 
how to use the rpmbuild tools (damn you American Dave, next months topic!).

Anyone who would like to help, I am ready to learn the Fedora way ;)
