Dear Maintainer,

The official nvidia dkms kernel module is failing to build with a segfault
with
binutils 2.45.50.20260119-1 (at least on amd64 arch). I tested and it is
reproducible on (at least) the following driver versions :
580.126.09, 590.44.01, 590.48.01.

Build logs do not provide much more information than that.

Downgrading to testing version of binutils (2.45.50.20251209-1+b1) solved
the issue.

I do believe (with not much confidence) that the issue is related to ld.

I am aware that the nvidia drivers packaged by nvidia are not officially
supported by debian, but I think this bug report can at least be useful for
people encountering the same issue.

Thanks,
