Your comment was very helpful.
I ran into this problem when I first received my Rock Pi as shown by my post from 2019,
and had forgotten.
file /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.194-19-rockchip-g287ff75afc47/scripts/recordmcount
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.194-19-rockchip-g287ff75afc47/scripts/recordmcount: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=0610df3dcc846dfea7202b5038911829152c7685, not stripped
Your approach did not work for me.
make scripts
make: *** No rule to make target ‘scripts’. Stop.
The file-by-file method (involving only two binaries) did. To find what to fix, I compiled the driver manually. Then, I did the following.
mv recordmcount recordmcount-orig_x86-64
make recordmcount
cc recordmcount.c -o recordmcount
cd basic/
mv fixdep fixdep-orig_x86-64
make fixdep
cc fixdep.c -o fixdep
Now, I have run into another, different problem (which does not occur on my Rock64).

A web search suggests the problem may be with python, but both my Rock Pi and Rock64 have 2.7.
I do not (yet?) see anything relevant in the driver’s Makefile.
