OK, this seems to be the problem:
modutils before 2.4.10 don't know about EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
Please upgrade modutils on fsa01 and report whether it fixes the
problem.
If this was the problem, the patch below should be sufficient
(modutils 2.4.10 isn't a very strong dependency - even Debian stable
ships 2.4.15).
<-- snip -->
For support of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, at least modutils 2.4.10 is required.
