Since installing the latest sid 2.6.16-2 updates earlier this week I
have been unable to build the VMware modules.
vmware-config.pl says my kernel has been built with gcc 4.0.4
BUT when I try to build vmware modules with gcc 4.0.4 it reports the
kernel is built with gcc 4.1
--------------------------------------------------
# export CC=gcc-4.0
# vmware-config.pl
...
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc-4.0". Use environment variable CC to
override.
