Thanks to all who responded.  On the microvax, the filter was
not vax/inline/inline but mvax/asm.  Interestingly, the source
file for my driver was already listed in conf/files.mvax:

../vaxuba/ik.c		non-supported device driver

I could not find any appropriate makefile entry however; the kernel
makefile had something like:

ik.o:
	ln -s ../BINARY.mvax/ik.o ik.o

Anyway, I put the (unadulterated) driver source from BINARY.mvax to vaxuba,
created a little makefile in BINARY.mvax, and all was well.  I still
don't see why config didn't put the compile instructions in some makefile
by itself.
