One more thing to throw in (in case it saves anyone the 15 mins of head 
scratching I had).  Make sure that you don't have an environment variable 
called ARCH set before running the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-... code.

If you do the kernel-module build will fail 'cos it will look for a 
directory $ARCH/ where it should look for i386/

[ before anyone asks we set ARCH to $(arch) which returns i686 on most 
32-bit systems we have (maybe all of them by now) ... ]

On earlier systems like SL30x the kernel-module build didn't look at the 
environment variable, but it seems to in SL50.
