Well, the log tells you what the problem is. The gcc version you use is
different from the one used to compile your kernel. Use gcc --version
to check which one is used for the driver and dmesg | grep version to
find out which one was used for the kernel. Set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH or
use the same kernel if possible (check where /etc/alternatives/cc and
/usr/bin/gcc point to).

Maybe you can /have to leave out the /include part of the path (works
for me without it).
