I used to know this but I can't find info today. How do I tell which
version of gcc was used to compile my kernel?

This should do it:
gcc -v



Maybe I wasn't clear enough Phil, I suspected that my kernel was built with an old gcc and my nvidia modules with my current version (gcc-3.4.4-r1).
Andres' suggestion (cat /proc/version) was what I needed.

$ cat /proc/version

(gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)) #1 Fri Dec 9 15:39:27 EST 2005

I most likely don't fully understand the difference between the two/three commands and I was going by a vague memory from a couple of years back.

Could someone expound on these 3 commands? I don't really understand the man and info pages on these.

gcc -v
gcc --version
(I thought the previous two were the same.)
cat /proc/version

Does one or more show the currently being used gcc and another show a previous version used for some other earlier compile(s)?

TIA
