It does, and with "v" it should be verbose about it which is why I asked to
see that in case it had problems.  But this is moot as you are only looking
for client bits...

The patchless client build should "just work", don't --enable-server unless
you want the server.  What are your exact configure options?  This is
sufficient as a bare minimum test:

./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/source \
	--with-linux-obj=/lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/build

Attach your config.log if possible as well.
