That should not be an issue; as Tzafrir already posted, you can set KSRC
explicitly to make the kernel module build use any kernel sources you
wish to. You may also have to set ARCH to your target architecture.

This must be a typo; nothing in Zaptel looks in that directory. Can you
post exact error/warning output instead of a summary?

Are you building Asterisk or Zaptel? There are significant differences
between them when it comes to cross-compiling.
