The problem is that the kernel you are/were running when installing the
nvidia driver was compiled with gcc 3.4. You have to compile the nvidia
module with the same version of gcc that you used to compile the kernel.
Compilation of the nvidia module happens in post_install(), so if you
installed it while running an old kernel, that's what caused the
problem, not xorg.
