how to build a single module in the tree?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  i swear, this just never seems to work for me.  according to greg
kh's book "linux kernel in a nutshell", the way to build a single
module is simply (for example):

  $ make drivers/usb/serial/visor.ko

  for the life of me, i can't get that to work.  it *will* build a
file visor.o, but that's not what i'm after, i want the final visor.ko
module file.

  am i doing something exceedingly silly?  thanks.
