I was able to compile HHVM and Nvidia binary driver by reverting GCC package to older version, now Xenial uses newer packages by default, which makes compilation out of the box impossible.
This doesn't feel like dkms-specific issue, since HHVM is very different thing and suffers from the same issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574982 Title: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installing the latest 4.4.0-22 kernel ends with that error logged into dkmsbuildlog (only affect yakkety kernel; 4.4.0-22 kernel installation on xenial is fine) https://launchpadlibrarian.net/256055415/DKMSBuildLog.txt make "CC=cc" KBUILD_VERBOSE= -C /lib/modules/4.4.0-22-generic/build M=/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-361/361.42/build ARCH=x86_64 NV_KERNEL_SOURCES=/lib/modules/4.4.0-22-generic/build NV_KERNEL_OUTPUT=/lib/modules/4.4.0-22-generic/build NV_KERNEL_MODULES="nvidia nvidia-uvm nvidia-modeset" INSTALL_MOD_DIR=kernel/drivers/video modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-22-generic' arch/x86/Makefile:133: stack-protector enabled but compiler support broken Makefile:670: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler the latest error logged is: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-361/361.42/build/nvidia/nv-frontend.c:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode Looks like it is related to the latest changes updates: gcc-6/gcc-5 5.3.1-16ubuntu2 (some packages built with gcc-6; gcc-5 disabled for the packages built with gcc-6) Maybe some alternatives has not been updated to take care of these changes, as asked some time ago: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/choose-gcc-and-g-version This has been firstly reported against a nvidia crash: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-361/+bug/1574838 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: gcc 4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Tue Apr 26 08:41:32 2016 SourcePackage: gcc-defaults UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: oem 2014 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: oem 2014 F...m pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: oem 2014 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0a9ca7f0-6eeb-4b21-b70f-670fa600de16 IwConfig: eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
