Everything is working just fine, from looking at the output.

CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is set to 'y', which means that libata is built 
into the kernel rather than as a module, because 
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is built into the kernel, and libata is a 
dependency.

Because the dependency (libata.o) is built into the kernel, no kernel 
module will be produced.
