Bug 459036 – Nvidia Drivers 313.18 won't compile with kernel 3.8

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 447566
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Stylinski 2013-02-24 16:29:19 UTC]

This bug has been discussed a bit on nvforums, a simple google search returns a very minor patch that fixes this.  I've tested it myself in a local overlay.
http://notes.benv.junerules.com/linux-3-8-and-nvidia-driver/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =gentoo-sources-3.8.0
2. emerge -1 nvidia-drivers
3. get failure about warnings being treated as errors
Actual Results:  
Failure to build

Expected Results:  
A built kernel modules for 3.8

The error is something like this:
 /tmp/selfgz7139/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-313.18/kernel/nv.c: In function ‘nv_kern_open’:
