nvidia.ko fails to build - "make: *** [module] Error 1"

Hi
I started using Gentoo recently ant there's one thing I can't get working - nvidia proprietary drivers. When I emerge it, it fails and gives me some "info" about errors (info, that I don't understand at all).

There's full emerge output: http://bpaste.net/show/144197/
Note: I use pf-sources, but it's not its fault, because I also tried emerging nvidia-drivers on gentoo kernel and got the same.

Any idea?

Current nVidia drivers do not build against kernel 3-11.

In kernel/nv-linux.h change

You are welcome! Although the question wasn't stupid. Your only mistake was the failure to read the warning about unsupported kernels.
