Problems with insmod & modprobe

We've had v1.0.0pre8 working for a while now with no problems.  We had 
used gcc 3.1.1 and I'm not sure what version of uClibc.  At some point 
in the last year, I became keeper of the development tools and built gcc 
3.4.2 with uClibc 0.9.27 but we did not rebuild busybox. I wanted to add 
support for udhcpd and so rebuilt busybox-1.0.0pre8 and now insmod and 
modprobe appear to be broken.  I've rebuilt using busybox-1.0.1 and 
uClibc 0.9.28 but to no avail.  The problem is that doing a modprobe or 
an insmod, it almost appears as if they don't go through the 
/lib/modules/uname -r directory structure.  They tell me that the 
modules aren't found.  I can install the old busybox binary we have and 
they load just fine.  The old busybox binary is at least a year old and 
we can't recreate a binary thats identical.

Anybody have any ideas?  This, of course, is the last item needed in 
this project and is driving me crazy.
