What is the gcc line in that file?

And what do you get for ....
strings /usr/lib/modules/4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko | grep gcc
I get my nvidia source from the negativo17 repository and all this
command does is list the version of gcc used. Following Todd's thread,
as my nvidia, wifi and mouse drivers (the wifi and mouse kernel drivers
are sourced from github, the wifi driver is downloaded manually and the
mouse driver is sourced from Razer's F27 repository) are all compiled
through dkms (I do have the akmods version of nvidia from negativo17 as
a backup to dkms), I can add the V=1 parameter to make in the dkms.conf
file. The only issue with this is at the moment I'm not sure where the
log files are kept.
