Re: Compiling a kernel module. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4

["Mike Dobbs" <spam@mdobbs.com>]

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.
