Ok, so you have to check the version.h, your gcc finds. Do
# gcc -M hello.c -o hello.d
# grep -w version hello.d
Inspect that file. It should contain something like
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.19"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132115
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
Compare the UTS_RELEASE against 'uname -r' - it MUST match.
If not, do 'locate version.h' and check the results.
if [ $? -ne 0 ], you may edit a new one. It could look like this:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.99"
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,99)
