indeed, I received the same warning while recompiling my vmware modules today.
This looks to be a vmware specific thing ... but the upstream released kernel (for those who run their product) was compiled with the same version of gcc.
Here is their kernel line: Linux version 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (bhcompile@hs20-bc1-1.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 Thu Jan 5 17:03:45 EST 2006

Just updated to the new 2.6.9-22.0.2.106.unsupported kernel (don't see an Announce entry yet, but yum sees it) and found an apparently-minor glitch in the gcc version when updating my VMware Workstation kernel module:
# vnware-config.pl ... snip ... Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.4.5", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.4.4". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.4.4" anyway? [no] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.106.unsupported/build/include] ... snip ...
Despite the warning, the build finishes and VMware seems to work OK so far. Checked testing repo for a gcc update and didn't see one.

No glitch. That is the new gcc for CentOS-4.3beta. It should not be a problem with the kernel. There will be a new kernel with the release of 4.3 soon as well.
