The following created a fuse.ko binary that loads on the target without an
error.

./configure --prefix=$EMBEDDED_DIR/usr --build=$EMBEDDED_CPU-linux-gnubc
--enable-kernel-module --with-kernel=$EMBEDDED_DIR/usr/src/linux

It created Makefile(s) that properly used the kernel and libraries within
the embedded build environment, and not the RHEL host.

Thank you !!!  Miklos..
