I noticed that symbols which cause "disagrees about version of symbol" messages
have crc == 0.

---------- scripts/mod/modpost.c ----------
        /* CRC'd symbol */
        if (strncmp(symname, CRC_PFX, strlen(CRC_PFX)) == 0) {
                crc = (unsigned int) sym->st_value;
+               if (!crc)
+                       fprintf(stderr, "symbol %s has crc=0 
sym->st_shndx=%d\n",
+                               symname, sym->st_shndx);
                sym_update_crc(symname + strlen(CRC_PFX), mod, crc,
                               export);
        }
---------- scripts/mod/modpost.c ----------

I continued bisection in this way and found that commit 5c019369 "syscalls.h:
use gcc alias instead of assembler aliases for syscalls" started showing

Reverting commit 5c019369 from linux-next-20130822 solved this problem.

Andi, would you check?
