Video card

[Joel Hammer]

Good idea.
which `gcc` returns:
/usr/local/bin/gcc
and 
file `which gcc`
shows a binary file.
strings `which gcc` shows version 2.95.3, which is what I think I
am using.

I went the extra step and recompiled my modules and make'd
modules_install.  However, depmod wouldn't work, never has on this
machine.

I still get the same error when I try to compile the NV kernel module,
the NV install script complaining about the compiler version being
different from the one used to compile the running kernel.
uname -a show the newly compiled kernel is running.

I would put this card into another computer (one of my lindows boxes,
for example) but those kernels come precompiled and there is little
chance the compiler I have downloaded was used to compile those kernels.

So, until I can find which Makefile into which I have to insert the
IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH directive, I appear to be stuck.
