We need a bit more of a description than you've provided.

1. "millions" of compiler errors? Come on. Provide a few examples and a 
more realistic estimate of how much more there is before the process exits.

2. Do all the errors relate to bttv, or are you now having problems 
compiling other modules as well?

3. How did you add in the source for the "latest BTTV"? Did you do it as a 
patch to the kernel source? Where did you get it from?

4. Am I correct in assuming that before you did whatever you did, "make 
modules" worked properly, including compiling the older bttv module? (More 
generally, you have compiled the kernel itself ("make bzImage", usually) 
succesfully, right? So you've gone through the preliminary steps in 
/usr/src/<kernel-name>/README?)
