You'll find out the compiler version which was used to compile your kernel
with:

cat /proc/version

That one has to fit the version of your C-Compiler, which you can find out
with:

gcc -v

If they are different, you can try to set the default C-Compiler symlink
in /usr/sbin - but I compiled my own kernel and then went on; after that,
everything was fine
