Are you sure GCC 2.95 is fully installed on your system?... You can *try* changing the gcc in the makefile to just execute a newer version (on most systems, the standard "gcc" executes gcc 3.x), but note the preferred GCC to use is 2.95 (or 2.96 on some systems), so it may produce an unstable build.
Also note building off of cvs isnt really a fully supported thing.
You may not get much else support for this.
And for the record, the module's not broken, I can compile it without any issues, so it's something on your end.
