The recommended way of compiling libc5 binaries on hamm is to use "altgcc"
and ensure that /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin is in the PATH before the regular
bin directories.

That's because libc5-altdev comes with its own set of kernel headers from
2.0.32.

You didn't use the "-f" option to insmod:
     -f     Attempt  load the module even if the version of the
            running kernel and the version of  the  kernel  for
            which the module was compiled do not match.
