Package: nvidia-kernel-legacy-source
Version: 1.0.7174-2
Followup-For: Bug #360611


I've also looked into this problem a little. Specifically, I have found
the cause of the NV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM problem. I would presume the
other two (maybe more?) have the same problem.

The package contains a "conftest.sh" script to find various settings. To
determine signal_struct_rlim, it tries to compile a small c file.
This compilation fails, but not because current->signal->rlim doesn't
exist, but because KBUILD_BASENAME is not defined (it seems). I presume
that just including <linux/sched.h> does not define this. Perhaps
including another file first helps? (I've tried kernel.h, version.h and
config.h, to no success)

I hope this helps solving this issue properly. The above patch does help
in my case, though.
