Does the kernel's "make ARCH=sh headers_install" output not work for 
something? That's what I've been using...

(I admit I haven't built vanilla kmod in forever, most of my systems are 
static kernels and both busybox and toybox both have insmod in them. 
It's in my old linux from scratch test stack, which I've been been 
meaning to reestablish on a version newer than lfs-6.8... :)
