any reason why you don't use the arch-provided package?
pacman -Sy nvidia

Well, i think nvidia from nvidia page should work, why i dont use the package is uninteresting.
The issue is that it doesn't work, and not which driver i should use

Do you use kdemod? If yes please upgrade to the current version

Actually, no offense, but you're wrong. You're asking for help on the Arch forum with a problem which would be non-existent if you used the Arch package. The Arch package provides version 9746, so even if you can get it to work, you gain nothing by using the nvidia installer.
That said, newgargamel has pointed you in the right direction.

Yes, i do
you gain nothing by using the nvidia installer.
ok.. ack
but what is the problem, that that is it impossible to build the kernel module?
try to explain it in an easy way.. my english is more than terrible, sorry

It is explained in the bug report referenced in the thread that newgargamel gave you.
