Well, I can tell you that I managed to install the 5328 drivers fine
without setting that variable if that's anything to go by. The
installer will compile a custom module based on your GCC version
from /proc/version not `gcc -v`, (which is 3.2.3 - the version used to
compile the kernel), so I see no reason for needing this. However, it
*may* still be an issue, and as such if you experience any problems, it's
probably best to set it. Or you could try `export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1`.
See http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20628 if
you have issues - it may be helpful.
