According to the logs, it succesfully builds `88XXau.ko', so I think
something odd is happening in the install phase:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `install'
make: Entering directory 
'/gnu/store/c04b4kkhcqzigq11sgyyqk17bp5ra6nd-linux-libre-module-builder-5.13.19/lib/modules/build'
arch/x86/Makefile:148: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
  DEPMOD

make: Leaving directory 
'/gnu/store/c04b4kkhcqzigq11sgyyqk17bp5ra6nd-linux-libre-module-builder-5.13.19/lib/modules/build'
phase `install' succeeded after 0.1 seconds
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope that helps,
