i am surprised that is sufficient.  2.6.17 seems to have changed the
way KBUILD_BASENAME is handled and requires a new macro KBUILD_STR.
i rewrote the linux kernel tests (see openafs bug 34561) to understand
this.  however, it would probably be a good idea to make the tests a bit
more kernel friendly under 2.6 by using the existing kernel build system.
this would always test with the 'right' flags.
