'make modules_install' should remove the existing tree, but it doesn't.
So once you got an ordineary file named 'cdrom' it would stay that way
indefinitely. 'make clean', 'make mrproper', and so on, don't know
about the module installation tree so they wouldn't fix it.

That's good enough for me; I'm going to close the case.
