kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.2" / yast provides "gcc" only version "4.1.0"

Hi, could you pls. provide "gcc" in version "4.1.2" in yast? While trying to install VMware Server 1.0.4 on Opensuse 10.1 i got the following error: ############################ ...Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.2", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.1.0". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server 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 "4.1.0" anyway? [no]... ############################ Thank you!
You can workaround this problem installing kernel-source for your kernel version and compiling it with your available 4.1.0 gcc. Regards.
After 10.1 release gcc has been updated to 4.1.2, which means that also updated kernels for 10.1 are built with 4.1.2, but for gcc itself no updateds are provided. This looks like a mistake to me.
