  Well, you invoked "oldgo", which is for full kernel builds. You seem to
have configured FreeSWAN as a module, so you need to install your modules,
using the standard kernel mechanisms.

  Probably, this is a documentation issue.

  If you had invoked "oldmod", (or just "make module"), then you would have
built the module locally, against a potentially RO kernel, and "minstall"
would work.
