Can you compile tis module against the old kernel sources?
Also, the same can happen going from gcc3 to gcc4.
Such problems can also be solved using vi if you have the guts: find the magic 
string, kernel and gcc versions and edit. Only works if old and new string 
lengths are identical. Never insert or delete anything :-)
