depmod in modutils has a hard coded limit of 10000 symbols.  This was
not a problem when reading symbols from /proc/ksyms, it is a potential
problem when reading from System.map after installing modules.  Some
archs have extra symbols in System.map which blows depmod.  The
modules_install code was changed in 2.4.0-test6.

  DEPMOD=/bin/true make modules_install

will effectively skip the depmod processing or apply this patch against
modutils 2.3.15.
