[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#476504: does not build, even with suggested patch , newer patch

[A Mennucc1]

hi

I tried to build the nvidia 169.12-1 module on my amd64 system with
kernel 2.6.25-1 ; I applied the patch found at

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?s=41498f047cfc027419df58a2559e9a7f&attachmentid=30771&d=1205875946

and then tried to compile using 
$ m-a -O -t b-i nvidia

but it failed in a strange way, reporting 
vvvvvvvvvvvvv
  LD [M]  /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nvidia.o
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
scripts/mod/modpost: invalid option -- S
make[4]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the above is strange; it is as if the KBUILD system is passing two
options '-c -S' to 'modpost', but these options are no more recognized.

For a quick and dirty fix, I patched
 /lib/modules/2.6.25-1-amd64/build/scripts/Makefie.modpost
as in attachment, and I could then compile the module.

a.
