That's OK.

As binary?  You can run "gcc --version" and it's say 3.4.6?

Or as source?  Then you need to build it.  This is more difficould, and 
you should better complete build the colinux from scratch via 
"./configure --gcc-guest-build ...YourPaths... && make && make kernel"

Perhaps?
   cd ~/linux-2.6.11
   make oldconfig

Second: Please check, that your gcc is working.
Create a small hello-world.c and compile this with your gcc from your 
system (Your current gcc from your system. Must not be the gcc3.4.6.)

Perhaps is mising one of the devel packets for gcc.  I'm not a debian 
crack.  Perhaps a gcc-devel, glibc-devel?  Ask google about "howto 
install gcc under debian".

Check, that you have the right versions for compiler and tools to build 
a kernel.  I'm not shure, Kernel 2.6 needs a gcc >= 3.x.x on your 
system.  Check this with "gcc --version".

The mostly known missing is "ncurses-devel".  But you have an other 
problem before.

An alternate:
If you have enouth free disk space (2GB), install Fedora Core 5 image 
file from SourgeForge.  There is gcc 3.4 default, and that was used to 
build colinux.  You must install gcc and binutils in the running Fedora 
coLinux, the binaries exists as rpm.  After you have build your kernel 
and modules, you can copy kernel and modules into your target system (.
