Makefile problem

[cranium2003]

Hi,
   I have some Makefile questions
1)Why a kernel module in 2.6 kernel cannot be compiled
with single gcc command? Why it requires Makefile in
current directory so that i can use Makefile?

2) why following command used to compile 2.4 kernel
module fails on 2.6 kernel
gcc  -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -O2 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -I/lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build/include -c -o example.ko example.c

3) Is that because of gcc cannot create .ko file??
then what header changes occurred from .o to .ko
module implementaion?

Thanks & Regards,
cranium
