You must build the modules and kernel with the same basic options, often the same compiler options and same patches to the tree if they affect any internal structures. Linux doesn't have a module ABI. Anything else people do on their own heads and in a production environment I'd advise extreme caution because you might not find out about a mismatch (especially if you use -f or non symbol versioned modules) until far too late
