Fine, now if all distributions could also put something like: #ifdef __KERNEL__ # error To build kernel modules you must point the compiler to # error headers matching your current kernel! #endif in /usr/include/linux/module.h 3:d party kernel module developers would be saved a lot of silly "bug" reports, and everybody would be happy.
