No

I get the following output when I attempt to compile fsc_btns.c with GCC 4.6.0-4 and kernel 2.6.38.5 in ArchLinux (though I might add, I had the same issue with the previous kernel and the new GCC version).

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/build M=/home/sara/abs/aur/fjbtndrv/src/fjbtndrv-2.2.1/src/linux modules

Thanks for looking into this.
