The compile command that I should use is:

make  KLIB=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)

But as make utility is not good at uninstalling packages I want to use checkinstall like so:

checkinstall install=no

But how can I use KLIB variable with checkintstall?

As Javier pointed out in his comment: checkinstall is only useful for the installation part of the build chain. For some more clarification:

if you ware used to compile and install a program the usual way: ./configure && make && make install you would replace this by:

./configure && make && checkinstall install=no

so you can still pass the KLIB-Argument to make as this argument is only important for make, not for make install.
