Basically, you have to have already compiled the entire kernel sometime in
the past, and then to be using the compiled kernel on your machine.
Then, to compile a module, all you need is to touch one of its
dependencies, and re-do make on the entire kernel. In principle, only the
desired module will be re-compiled.
If you didn't already compile the entire kernel, then going this way will
be simpler than fiddling with the makefiles, ensuring that all kinds of
obscure dependencies exist and are up-to-date, and that the compiled
module will be compatible with the version of the kernel, which runs on
the machine.
How to compile the kernel - RTFM (there is a README file in
/usr/src/linux-* directory - at least there used to be one in the 2.0.*
and 2.2.* series).
