Linux: modpost does not build anything

Question

I am having problems getting any kernel modules to build on my machine. Whenever I build a module, modpost always says there are zero modules:

MODPOST 0 modu

I guess you copied the contents of the Makefile from a PDF or some HTML document. The hyphens used are somewhat weird. Just try replacing the hyphens in the makefile; it will work like a charm.
