Cannot compile nvidia-kernel, i386, kernel 2.6.20 and 2.6.21



Dear maintainers,

since kernel version 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 it is no more possible to compile the 
nvidia-kernel-module. Either the nvidia-kernel-legacy nor the normal 
nvidia-kernel-source. My architecture is an Athlon XP, 32-bit with i386.
On my notebook with debian-amd64 everything is working fine.

It looks for me, that it is inhibited to compile it due to the 
non-GPL-license. Take a look at the output please:

Is there anything known about it ? I tried both, using make-kpkg modules_image 
and module-assistant with no success. With older version (2.6.18-1-k7) 
everything is compiling fine.

Any help will be welcome.

Best regards

Hans
