Well, first of all I don't think there's actually a target called
'oldversion'. Maybe you mean oldconfig? Without actual error messages,
I can't really tell if this is the only problem.

There are a number of tools you need besides gcc. Again, I can't guess
as to what you might be missing w/o actual error messages.

The headers are pre-packaged and can easily be installed using the
following commands:
# apt-get install module-assistant
# m-a prepare
Also note that ndiswrapper source is already packaged in Debian, so
you can build/install the module easily by running the above commands
followed by:
# apt-get install ndiswrapper-source
# m-a a-i ndiswrapper
