sorry, but NOnono again.

did you have a look at the output of the make run?

there is this uncool  scripts/adjust_drbd_config_h.sh,
which will take care of, you guessed right, adjusting the drbd_config.h
for whatever kernel source tree you try to compile it again.

and, no, it DOES NOT WORK to trigger on kernel version only.
because of the vendor kernels, which include all sorts of backports.
and they change such things even between very minor package release
number changes.
