The problem is that "ncrcontrol" accesses some data structure
in the kernel, and whenever a kernel is built with a different
definition of that structure, ncrcontrol has to be rebuilt, too.

Could you send me your kernel config file ?
Kernel config options may effect the size of the above mentioned
data structure, and the compilation of ncrcontrol can't guess the
build directory of your kernel, and thus doesn't know which options
you use in your kernel ...

I had no doubt you really had a NCR SCSI controller ... :)
