This happens when the kernel is generated by a gcc which is much older than the gcc used to create the binaries (which depend partly on the kernel headers). Don't ask me 'exactly how much older', I think it's the difference between 2.95.2 and 2.95.3. It's a chicken & egg problem. I then build myself a 2.2.19 Kernel with a "recent" gcc and it worked.
