What you are writing doesn't make any sense:

Your Makefile example is for kernel 2.4 and won't work with kernel 2.6, 
while your reference (that is simply a very ancient and outdated version 
of Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt in the kernel sources) is for 
kernel 2.6.

Besides this, what Bernhard wants to do is not possible with kernel 2.6.
