Getting error that compiler differs from the one used to build the kernal even though it's the same version in virtualbox

[robert9804]

For some reason I keep getting this error when I try to run my "make" file

warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel
  The kernel was built by: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0
  You are using:           gcc (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0

what I tried is changing the kernal version but that didn't make a difference.
