So, I've done some work to build the kernel modules, too. It works now,
but it was far from being easy.

linux-gpib uses such a weird, deviously-twisted buildsystem, that
building the kernel modules, especially in cross-compilation, is not
trivial:

  - they forget to pass correct include paths;

  - they override standard kernel headers because they want to provide
    legacy handling (but even fail at that).

I've done a few patches to fix that (and the rest of the install
procedure, btw) so that linux-gpib now should work, except for the
language bindings, that are yet another challenge to address... :-/

You'll find my branch updated there:
