Subject: linux-2.6.25.6: Cannot "make" OPTION Module

Hi All,

I just installed  Debian 4 "etch" on my Thinkpad R61i, wanted to add
changes in Option.c for my external USB GSM modem, just adding vendor
and product id. I have downloaded linux-2.6.25.6 and using it for
making the Kernel module. But "make" gives me error. Not sure what
exactly is wrong. Below is the Makefile and the errors which get when
i run make. Any ideas as how to rectify this? do i need to add any
specific packages for Debian?

================
obj-m := option.o
KDIR  := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD   := $(shell pwd)
default:
        $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
