The top level Makefile (usr/src/linux/kernel-source-2.2.19) forces it:
# foo-bar-gcc for cross builds
# gcc272 for Debian's old compiler for kernels
# kgcc for Conectiva, Mandrake and Red Hat 7
# otherwise 'cc'
#
CC =$(shell if [ -n
"$(CROSS_COMPILE)" ]; then echo
$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc; else \
$(CONFIG_SHELL) scripts/kwhich gcc272 2>/dev/null ||
$(CONFIG_SHELL) scripts/kwhich kgcc 2>/dev/null || echo cc; fi)
and scripts/kwhich returns the first one it finds, which is gcc272.

It seems to me that the only way this would work for you is if you didn't
have gcc272 installed, which seems unlikely. Are you uses the nvidia
2313/2314 deb packages?
What does /proc/version show?
timshel:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.2.19 (root@timshel) (gcc version 2.95.4 (Debian
prerelease)) #1 Thu Jan 17 11:20:34 MST 2002
