better is to select the compiler right before compiling by setting the CC var

export/setenv CC=gcc-2.95
(select one, export or setenv, depending on your distro)

or turn off the gcc version checking, that way you can compile it with 
a different compiler than the kernel was compiled with, done that once and
didn't have any problems

export/setenv IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
(select one, export or setenv, depending on your distro)

and then use either the installer or unpack the files and compile manualy
ie. 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2/usr/src/nv
make
make install (as root)
