dell_rbu gcc version conflict

[Tom Haddon]

Hi Davis,

Thanks! Can you explain how to rebuild dell_rbu? I'd rather not force
the dell_rbu module into the kernel if it's giving me these error
messages (that's what insmod -f is doing, correct), but I'm not sure
what's involved in rebuilding dell_rbu.

gcc -v gives:

Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada
--enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
--with-cpu=generic --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 20060512 (Red Hat 4.1.0-17)

Thanks, Tom
