These messages are not errors, just warnings. (many more snipped)

This is probably the real error (or indication of it).  On my bdi
system, 'uname -r' prints '2.6.12.6-magma', and the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-magma/ is the one used by emc2.

Have you followed the instructions at
    http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl/emcinfo.pl?BDI-4_Compile_EMC2
which cover preparing the BDI system to build emc2?  This is the relevant part:

    Now to install and configure the kernel source and headers required by the
    build system...

    N.B. BDI-4.29 and BDI-4.30 installs should replace "2.6.10-adeos" with
    "2.6.12.6-magma" in the below commands.

     sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.10-adeos
     sudo apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.10-adeos
     sudo apt-get install rtai-dev
     cd /usr/src
     sudo tar -xjvf kernel-source-2.6.10-adeos.tar.bz2
     cd kernel-source-2.6.10-adeos
     sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.10-adeos .config
     sudo make oldconfig
     sudo make prepare-all

Then, re-run emc2's configure script so that the newly-available files are
detected.  You probably want to use './configure --enable-run-in-place'.

If it stilld oesn't work (and if it's still trying to use
'2.6.12.6-rtai') then you should include the messages printed by
configure as it runs.
