I'm using Fedora 34 , so you are saying that we need a higher gcc
version isn't it ?
Actually, a newer compiler is not necessary. It would get you past
this particular error, but you would just hit another error. The real
issue is the compilter used to build the kernel must also be the
compiler used to build the module. If you really need to run 5.18
kernels on Fedora 34, and need to build external modules for them, you
will have to recompile the kernel yourself on an F34 host.

after install kernel-devel , I need do some magic like:
cd /usr/src/kernels/5.18.0-0.rc3.27.fc37.x86_64
vi tools/objtool/Makefile
remove @$(CONFIG_SHELL) ./sync-check.sh from line 55 of
tools/objtool/Makefile
rm scripts/basic/fixdep
rm scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig
rm tools/bpf/resolve_btfids//fixdep
rm tools/objtool/fixdep
make clean
make tools/objtool
make scripts
rm scripts/mod/modpost
make
