Looks like something is broken with your C compiler.  Did you install a
different C compiler perhaps?

This doesn't look to actually  be an nvidia bug (or even dkms really),
but as there are a number of dupes perhaps it could use better error
handling or error messages.  Setting to wishlist for now.

** Description changed:

+ [Problem]
+ DKMS fails to build the nvidia driver if the C compiler is broken.
+ 
+ 
+ DKMS make.log for nvidia-current-195.36.15 for kernel 2.6.31-20-generic (i686)
+ Wed Mar 31 08:24:29 IST 2010
+ 
+ The C compiler 'cc' does not appear to be able to
+ create executables.  Please make sure you have 
+ your Linux distribution's gcc and libc development
+ packages installed.
+ 
+ *** Failed CC sanity check. Bailing out! ***
+ 
+ make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1
