Modprobe ndiswrapper error

Question

I'm trying to get my wusb300n card working on my desktop. I've downloaded ndiswrapper-1.59 and when I run make, everything goes fine except for a warning

WARNING: "mcount" [~/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.59/driver/ndiswrapper.ko] undefined!

I am still able to make install it and it works. However, when I run

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

I get

ERROR: could not insert 'ndiswrapper': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

and dmesg gives

ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol mcount (err 0)

the same name from the make warning.

Some other info:

$ uname -r
3.11.0-20-generic

$ sudo modprobe -n -v --first-time ndiswrapper
insmod /lib/modules/3.11.0-20-generic/misc/ndiswrapper.ko

I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10

After countless hours I've finally found the problem. It turns out I changed the version of gcc in order to install something a while back and that was causing the error. All I did to fix it was

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm gcc
sudo ln -s gcc-4.8 gcc

Remake everything, and then adding the ndiswrapper module worked!
