I hate that.  It _says_ deprecated - we're all adults here and should be 
capable of understanding that that implies "should not be used"...

You might try installing dkms - no idea if _this_ package could take 
advantage of it, but some packages have an easier time compiling drivers 
when it's present, so it might help here.

So if dkms doesn't help, try changing CFLAGS to EXTRA_CFLAGS in 
makefile.build, like it says...
