Just tested it on my F13 and it compiles cleanly (without a single
warning, not to mention errors).

Hmmm... this is definitely not a F13 kernel. My current up to date F13
kernel version is:
    2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE
Even my other F12 box has:
    2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686.PAE

A 2.6.27 is ancient history for Fedora ;-)

So you probably try to use Fedora as a build platform a non-Fedora
kernel, belonging to a different distribution (this is OK, but you
didn't mention it).

The offender is modpost which bombs out...

A wild guess -- you have an old kernel tree and you use its binaries
(in the scripts/ subdirectories) to build new DAHDI-linux. The best
shot is to make a complete 'distclean' of the kernel itself,
reconfigure and re-build it -- only than try to build DAHDI-linux
against this kernel.

Cheers,
