As far as I know, the kernel and its modules need to be build with the same
version of gcc. If your kernel was build with 3.4 (see /proc/version), then
you need to download gcc-3.4 and compile the modules with gcc-3.4. You'll
need to either chance the symbolic link of /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-3.4 or change
your comile options.

Subject: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4
I'm having problems building and installing a kernel module for the amd64
port of debian.
It seems that debian is shipped with gcc-3.3 as it's compiler, but it
looks like the amd64 kernel is built with gcc-3.4
(from a syslog message I'm getting when I modprobe a driver)
Oct 14 16:54:39 localhost kernel: mydriver: version magic
'2.6.8-11-amd64-generic gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.8-11-amd64-generic
gcc-3.4'
Is this actually the case, and if so is this going to continue when this
becomes an official debian distribution?
Oh, and also what can I do about this? Do I have to fetch gcc-3.4 to
build kernel modules? (Or rebuild my kernel with gcc-3.3)
Thanks people.
James
