** Description changed:

  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.
