error with compiler.h when switching from 2.6.32 to 2.6.36

I am switching from Kernel 2.6.32 to Kernel 2.6.36.  The kernel builds
fine but when I compile a module (that worked with the previously
kernel) against the new kernel I am getting an error that I don't
understand.

Here is the error:

In file included from include/linux/string.h:10,
                 from
/mnt/local/home/linux-omap-2.6/arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h:14,
                 from /home/my_module/my_module.c:24:
include/linux/compiler.h:62: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or
‘__attribute__’ before ‘struct’
make[2]: *** [/home/my_module/my_module.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/my_module] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/local/home/linux-omap-2.6'
make: *** [release] Error 2

I found this thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/213 and tried
following their solution but it didn't fix the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this error?
