#error "gcc 3.4 or newer should be used for compiling this module" Well it seems I need to make the ebuild error out if and old compiler is used.
I found it... portage had just installed gcc 3.4.6-r1, so I was convinced that gcc was at the right level. However, a gcc --version I just did came back with 3.6.6. So the ndiswrapper isn't at fault here. I'll do some looking around why gcc wasn't updated. Thanks:)
Check gcc-config, as it might have your compiler set to 3.3.6, even though 3.4.x is installed.
