The below are only warnings and your build should succeed.

It is obviously i386 - is it a clean allmodconfig or any changes?
Is it latest -linus or some older version of the codebase?

Did an allmodconfig build of i386 - I see (almost) all warnings here.
So I will take a look based on this.

The MODPOST stage took a while but it proceeded with no hick-ups.
MDOPSOT deals with ~2000 modules in my case and that consumes a bit
of memory. Maybe you are hitting the limit with respect to available RAM / SWAP?
