I already found this patch. The compilation issue is fixed thanks to this commit.
But I am always not able to get a ko file at the end of the compilation process.
Even with the master branch.

Process to run the test :

* git checkout 2015.08.1
* git checkout -f
* make distclean
* make wandboard_defconfig (I am using this defconfig for my test)
* enable lttng-modules through make menuconfig
* make lttng-modules

Check ko file in output/target, output/builf/lttng-modules-X, output/build/linux-X
 => no lttng kernel module file found.

The compilation seems to work without error. But in fact nothing is compiled at
the end of the process.
