Very hard to say without more clue what you are doing (I mean we can
see your building a webcam driver from source....).
Trying to...
Is there even a makefile in "/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/build"
No

akm@xxxxxxx:~/alex/2004/12> ls /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/build/
akm@xxxxxxx:~/alex/2004/12> ls /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/
build   modules.alias   modules.ieee1394map  modules.pcimap
extra   modules.ccwmap  modules.inputmap     modules.symbols
kernel  modules.dep     modules.isapnpmap    modules.usbmap


This used to work OK with the 2.4 kernel, I suppose there have been some 
changes in how modules go in 2.6

Seems an odd place to put a build directory to me!
I think it was where the source for the webcam driver wanted to look for it 
though.

Open Source is a necessary but not of itself sufficient condition.
