You'll have to be more specific, and post actual error messages. 3.7.4 contains the same version.h files as 3.7.3:

$ bsdtar tf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-headers-3.7.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz | grep -F /version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.3-1-ARCH/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.3-1-ARCH/include/config/arch/want/compat/ipc/parse/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.3-1-ARCH/include/xen/interface/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.3-1-ARCH/include/uapi/linux/dvb/version.h

$ bsdtar tf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-headers-3.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz | grep -F /version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.4-1-ARCH/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.4-1-ARCH/include/config/arch/want/compat/ipc/parse/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.4-1-ARCH/include/xen/interface/version.h
usr/src/linux-3.7.4-1-ARCH/include/uapi/linux/dvb/version.h

It seems more likely that there's wrongly hardcoded paths which are failing now in your "many external kernel modules" because of the uapi changes. Notice that we've had no problems compiling any of the external modules we ship in the repos.
