1.3.38 'module.h' problems...

There seems to be a slight problem when building modules in 1.3.38.

Starting from a clean tree (make clean dep zImage modules) finds
that making modules dies on a redefinition of kernel_version in each
module. The 'kernel_version' is set in .../include/linux/module.h,
but is constantly redefined in the driver sources themselves.

schizo:(3):/usr/src/linux$ make modules
...
gcc -D ... lp.c
lp.c:559: redefinition of `kernel_version'
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:102: `kernel_version' previously \
defined here

(this is a paraphrase of the actual error messages)

Thanks!
