  Hmm, OK.

  So... is it random?  Or are some modules always stripped, and others always not stripped?

  It's useful to describe what's actually going on in detail.  Saying "stuff doesn't work" doesn't let me know what action to tale.

  You can run `VERBOSE=1 make install`, and see exactly what commands it's running to build and install things.  Then, look at those commands to see which (if any) modules are being stripped.

  All of the modules are built with the same CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.  All of the modules are installed with the same scripts.  So there shouldn't be any differences between them.
