What happens with the 'gcc version magic' with modules if the main kernel
and modules are compiled on separate machines with different GCC releases
installed? Certainly seems like a requirement for a "similar" environment
to me, if compiling with gcc 4.1.0 vs 4.1.1. results in a module that won't
insmod....
