Without patch you should have gotten the following:
cdrom.o -> ../drivers/cdrom//cdrom.o
mcdx.o -> ../drivers/cdrom//mcdx.o
but NOT what you wrote.

Does this mean that `make modules' does not work for you
even without the patch?

With this patch you should get:
lp.o -> ../drivers/char/lp.o
rd.o -> ../drivers/block/rd.o
slip.o -> ../drivers/net/slip.o

This is exactly what you should get.
These problems probably appear because you are running
make not from bash. You should have /bin/bash or /bin/sh
to be the *real* bourne-compatible shell.
Please, try out the corrected patch:
