I believe this refers to your kernel sources.

If we assume that, along with assuming your kernel source is in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.27, then in your /lib/modules/2.6.27 directory,
there should be a symbolic link called build, which points to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.27. On my system, it looks like this:

ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.29.6/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-10-22 13:27 /lib/modules/2.6.29.6/build
- -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6

Hth.
