Steve Harris posted to the list a while ago that you can safely ignore
the compiler mismatch (this is all gcc3.2, just different releases - and
this will be fixed in the next "official" release of a kernel coming up
next week). This is what he wrote:

Just set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH and it will work fine. If you want suspend
to
ram to work then you have to hack one of the source files and disable
AGP
mode, otherwise it works fine.
