what version of gcc is being used?
afaik rh 8.0 comes with both gcc 2.95.x and 3.1.x installed 
and uses the 3.1.x version by default 
so from the command line gcc = gcc 3.x
and gcc_2.95 (or something similar) gets you the old one
gcc 3.x is a much stricter compiler than the older versions
try editing /usr/lib/hcfpci/modules/common.mak
there is a line in there that defines the CC variable
change that to whatever points to the older version of gcc 
on your system, and see if that helps
