I spent some time going through posts and trying various things.  The
best I can reckon from all information gathered so far is something
about the upgrade process from 14.04 to 16.04 trips things up for the
Nvidia driver build.  If Ubuntu 16.04 is installed from scratch, people
report it works, but the part of it not working during / after an
upgrade from a previous Ubuntu release is consistent.  The thing is I
have a system that has so much going on on it that starting over would
be a huge time kill, so solving this would probably take less time even
if it is a bit involved to figure out.  Also if it is working on some
installations and not others depending on how Ubuntu was installed, that
points to a possible issue on the open source side tripping up things on
the Nvidia side of the fence.  (The notion here clean install of open
source 16.04 equals proper environment for Nvidia driver to build while
something off kilter about the Ubuntu upgrade process equals broken
environment for the Nvidia driver to try to build in.  Of course I also
would not discount the notion that everything from each team runs to
their internally defined spec, but two teams had two different ideas on
the details of what is a valid thing to do / expect from the other.)
