nVidia drivers and GCC 4.0.3

These two things seem to be hating each other at the moment. Everytime I try to install the nVIDIA drivers, I get the following error.

Could not compile gcc-version-check.c.  Please be sure you have your distribution's libc development package installed and that 'gcc' is a valid C compiler name.

The reason I blame the gcc version is because it is a prerelease, and the last time I used a gcc version like that in Linux, things messed up. Anyone know how to alleviate this issue?

I got it to work by exctracting the pkgbuild, hacking the makefile in the usr/src/nv folder, and running make install, but that is not really much of a fix. Oh well, at least I have it working now.

Strange... installing fine here.
Are you talking about the regular nvidia package, or the legacy one?

I am talking about the one you get from the extra repository. I get the same error with the nforce package too.

The error disappeared, oddly. I do not know if it will resurface or not, but for some reason it is gone. O_o Whatever. heh
