This seems nothing to do with the GCC version since you are trying to load
the module complied for 2.4.9-9 in to the kernel version 2.4.18-14,
If one module is complied for one kernel it cant be loaded for another
kernel, unless if you disable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in the kernel.
So if it is troubling loading the module because of versioning errors,
better to compile the kernel with modversionsing turned off.
