You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When building nvidia kernel module for older nvidia card support, dkms failes with:
nvidia (96.43.10): Installing module.
..........(bad exit status: 10)
  Build failed.  Installation skipped.

Upon further investigation, running the following shows why dkms fails:

> cd /usr/src/nvidia-96.43.10
> sudo make modules
NVIDIA: calling KBUILD...
.
. (skipping most of irrelevant build output)
.
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2

p.s. I tried using "ubuntu-bug -p linux" and was informed that: 
The problem cannot be reported:

This is not a genuine Ubuntu package

So I am filing it manually.  Don't shoot the messenger.
