Of course, after all that, you'll get a binary that only runs *on*
*current*. If Martin wants to run it on 1.6.1, a natural assumption,
a little bit of make trickery suffices:

    make COPTS=-I/usr/src/sys DESTDIR=/ MAKECONF=/dev/null \
        MKDYNAMICROOT=no USETOOLS=never

Follow by "make ... install", with the same arguments. This assumes
that there's a current source tree at "/usr/src". Adjust as necessary.

Martin, realize that it's just mad luck that it works at all. "atactl"
just happens to be drawing on the kernel sources for definitions and
variables in common with the kernel drivers, and not for anything
actually in the compiled kernel.
