This happened with multiple lustre-review builds of lustre-dkms and lustre-master builds.

Well it is strange that KMP_MODDIR could have not been correctly set when no configure error has occurred.
So this may come from a more tricky configure issue...
You should have a look to the configure log content in either /var/lib/dkms/lustre/<version>/build/config.log or /var/lib/dkms/lustre/<version>/<kernel-version>/<arch>/log/config.log locations.

KMP_MODDIR was no longer exported it was unexpored by 3b7d27ea22faf1c6d0a37afa724fd9b5c3240322

I know this isn't directly related but on Power8 dkms also fails to load due to missing llite_loop module.
