Your kernel is probably compiled with MODVERSIONS, which requires the
appropriate options when compiling kernel modules. See attached message
on the subject of compiling ip_wccp.o.

You would compile it exacly like the other modules are compiled when you
build your kernel. Easies way is to copy a gcc line from the output of
"make modules". The exact line depends on what modules support you have
configured in your kernel, where the kernel sources are installed and
any CPU specific flags.

A example from my machine is
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2
-malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include
/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/include/linux/modversions.h -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c
ip_wccp.c

Shortened down to the minimal:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/include -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS
-include /usr/src/linux-2.2.13-/include/linux/modversions.h -c ip_wccp.c

If you aren't using modversions, then the minimal line becomes
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/include -DMODULE -c ip_wccp.c

The -f, -m and -O flags are optimizations, specific to your CPU type.

The -DEXPORT_SYMTAB can be ignored on this module as it doesn't export
any symbols to the rest of the kernel.
