The installer will compile a custom module based on your GCC version from /proc/version not `gcc -v`, (which is 3.2.3 - the version used to compile the kernel), so I see no reason for needing this. However, it *may* still be an issue, and as such if you experience any problems, it's probably best to set it. Or you could try `export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1`. See http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20628 if you have issues - it may be helpful. HTH -- Matt
