Update: 3 ¹/² weeks after this post on the 12th of November 2020 I found a black branded 1%1 Fritz!box 7560 in a pile of trash in the city on my way to Jobcenter. Since this find happened I'm able to send faxes with the found fritz!box and now I believe this help came from the Lord Jesus Christ. But ...

There is a major difference between x32 and i386 packages in Debian, though both are 32-bit. MX does not have an x32 version.

(1) Thank you for telling me that stevo, I'm just reading about the difference of x32, x86 and x64 architectures because of your comment.

Can you explain exactly why ...

are you sure M=PWD shouldn't be M=$(PWD) ?

Yes I'm sure.
The M=$PWD command above is not a commandline option of the make programm, but rather it's an argument passed to make that specifies the environment variable inside the Makefile. My second name is Antonius btw.

Do I need package binutils for 32 bit architecture installed here?
obviously I am missing the obvious solution to this problem, if somebody knows please tell me. Thanks.

Does one have to activate X32 support in the default GRUB boot in order to build this paticular external Kernel Module?
arch/x86/Makefile:147: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support

Or is there another way to unset the need for X32 and compile for 64 bit?

I just wanna be thankful to all of the commentators so far!
I have checked path of my building directory not containing any spaces /usr/src/linux-source-5.6/fcpci-4.4.0/src/
So it can't be that as issue.
It's ok if I answer to myself here, because others might learn from it later on.

Could somebody be so kind and help me, several binutils* packages are installed, yet make complains: "enabled but no binutils support" . :confused:

I am not sure if I understand what you are looking for, but I recently installed efax-gtk and used it to send faxes with a US Robotics USB modem off eBay. The software is also known to work with USB modems with Connexant chips and these are inexpensive to buy new.
