Got it.

Before, we shipped our own Makefile (debian/module/Makefile) because
upstream didn't. But now upstream does has a kernel/Makefile, and it
does almost exactly what our Makefile did... except one tiny bit.
Wanna guess? :-) They pass down "CC=$(CC)" (line 81). Removing that
solves the problem, and the compiler version used to build the kernel
gets used. I tested this in a sid chroot, and 3.16 gets build with gcc
4.6 now instead of gcc 5.

I'll add a new patch, test it all around as usual and commit it to SVN.

I am sorry for this merry-go-round, I should have noticed immediately
when I did the upgrade.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
