kmod 10 is out:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-10.tar.xz
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-10.tar.sign

make check fails here with glibc-2.15, gcc-4.7, x86_64,
due to what seems to be duplicated symbols(?)

On my LFS system, glibc-2.16, gcc-4.7.1, x86_64, I do not see these errors:

./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin --libdir=/lib \
            --sysconfdir=/etc --with-xz --with-zlib
make
make check

==================
All 9 tests passed
==================

What is interesting is that if I run the checks again:

make check

I get:

TESTSUITE: running modprobe_softdep_loop, in forked context

'make rootfs' does not do anything but make distclean && configure && make
&& make check is clean for me.

"make rootfs" was completely wrong, it's fixed now and queued for kmod 11:
