Easy, compile it for the current kernel. This does the trick:
gcc -O2 -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
-I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c foo.c -o foo.o
The linux kernel only guarantees _source level_ compatibility for
kernel modules, not _binary level_ compatibility (unless there is a
very good reason to break the source level compatibility).
