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
