That said, out-of-tree modules created with gr-modtool are *always* in
3.7 format, even if you're running 3.6 ("3.7 format" really is a bit
misleading, as it's used already in 3.6.3 for some components).
Only if you've created that module long ago, when the 3.6 code was still
in modtool, would you have this problem.

In theory, you should point modtool at your module and it should do the
right thing. That swig-thing was simply a bug, as 3.6 and 3.7 use
different orders for %include and GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC.
