OK, so xkbcomp is running. Why don't you try running it manually to
see if things work out.

$xprefix/setxkbmap -rules evdev -print | \
  xkbcomp -R$xprefix/share/X11/xkb -xkm - -o $PWD/foo.xkm

That's essentially what the xserver is doing to generate the keymaps.
You'll have to ensure the paths are correct since I don't understand
what you're doing at all.
