I figured out the NAND-flash depmod has V2.4.15 

the SD-card contains depmod V2.4.27 , which also results in a "Floating point 
exception" with my freshly compiled kernel.

I compiled above 2.4.26 code from SD-card and it worked fine... (except bison 
program was missing but it's not needed to compile depmod.)
Final Result : "Floating point exception"

Conclusion: compiling new modutils is not a solution.

any kernel parameters?

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set
# CONFIG_KMOD is not set
