ok-- 99% sure i tracked it down.  the hardware drivers gui has no
provision for the gcc version override option that the nvidia
285.05.09.pkg.run package offers.  the official nvidia package installed
from runlevel 3 wanted to use gcc 4.6, but i had gcc 4.4.  the nvidia
driver installation tool provides the option to continue and try to
build the kernel module anyway, which i did, which worked perfectly.
btw-with kernel 3.1.0, installed from kernel.org source, the nvidia
285.05.09.pkg.run doesn't throw the gcc error, it just compiles the
module and works for me.

so, this needs to be closed out, or marked solved, anyway, don't bother
with this bug report.

thanks.
