Linux driver .RUN installer --add-this-kernel Makefile error from v465.19 to 470.63

Hi,

I need to create a precompiled Nvidia linux kernel .RUN driver using the option “–add-this-kernel”.

In versions up to v460.91 both the normal installation and the creation of precompiled driver work perfectly.
However, from versions v465.19 to latest v470.63 the option to add a precompiled module to the RUN file no longer work, failing with the following Makefile error:

 ld -T /lib/modules/5.3.18-lp152.66-default/source/scripts/module-common.lds -r -o nv-peermem-linux.o \
     nvidia-peermem.mod.o nvidia-peermem/nv-peermem-interface.o

   ld: cannot find nvidia-peermem/nv-peermem-interface.o: No such file or directory

   make: *** [Makefile:113: nv-peermem-linux.o] Error 1

To me looks strange that the normal installation from the lastest .RUN file work and the driver installs successfully, But the option --add-this-kernel fails.

May be a regression in the “–add-this-kernel” function of the nvidia installer?

Con someone confirm that the option --add-this-kernel still works ?

Attached here is the “/var/log/nvidia-installer.log” file with the complete process:

Than you for any advice.
