Patrick, when I was writing a kernel module myself a week ago, I found
this same problem. I was less than thrilled, too. *My* solution was
tweaking the Makefile to include the correct set of headers for my
running kernel.
The GNU libc library (aka glibc, glibc 2, libc 6, and more) contains
with it the kernel headers against which it was compiled. (For Debian
unstable systems, this is 2.4.2-pre2, last week. For you, I haven't got
a clue, but you should be able to find out by editing
/usr/include/linux/version.h.)
Now to the solution: I installed the kernel headers for my running
kernel somewhere else (don't muck with /usr/include, lest other
software fail to run quite correctly...) and used a
-I/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.18/include switch to gcc (through the
Makefile). I think I also required the -nostdinc switch -- YMMV.
(Installing the kernel headers was *very* easy thanks to Debian's
kernel-package routines; perhaps just having the kernel source around is
sufficient.)
Or, you could check the archives of this list, if there are any :), and
see if turning off (on?) KERNEL_MOD_VERSIONS (I think) did the trick for
anyone else.
