CUDA 11.5 samples throw multiple ... error: attribute "malloc" does not take arguments

Hi,
After updating the Ubuntu distribution (from 20.04 to 21.10), compiling the examples throws errors …
…

I would like to compile GPUStressTest and I get the same:

What is problematic is that the download of the Toolkit 11.5 does not offer Ubuntu version 21.10 (max 20.04 → https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Ubuntu&target_version=20.04&target_type=deb_local)

Is this the real problem ?

I guess that it’s the right url to raise a ticket …
