[SOLVED] dkms failures

Today I upgraded my kernels (and associated headers) to Linux 5.10.13 and 5.10.13-zen, and dkms failed (leaving me with an incomplete boot).

I've finally managed to get to a working system by uninstalling dkms and dkms packages, installing the bare nvidia driver and booting to the stock (non-zen) kernel.

pacman.log shows:

And by way of an example failure log, acpi_call-dkms log is

Though I'm not really sure what to do with this information, and my Google-fu isn't helping.

I've used these dkms packages for a long time without issue. I did notice glibc had also been updated, so tried downgrading that in case it was relevant, but no change. (NB. everything is now upgraded again).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] dkms failures

Thank you. I didn't notice the gcc upgrade.

I'll downgrade all three and try again.

Thanks once again.

EDIT: Yep - downgrading gcc and binutils fixed it. Marking as solved.

ADDENDUM: binutils 2.36-2 fixes the issue properly.

Re: [SOLVED] dkms failures

I realize this is the Testing repo forum, but I had to hunt high and low for an answer to my own problem, where the nvidia-dkms module wasn't building for my custom kernel linux-ck-zen2.

I enabled the testing repo and upgraded glibc and lib32-glibc (I use Steam). This allowed the module to build without problems. Disabled the testing repo after confirming everything was working fine.
