That was the problem! Nice catch.  I'm clueless as to how previous
kmod-nvidia modules have built and run.  And I don't understand
why, when running akmods as root, the "make" process is unable
to "see" inside /usr/local/include (nor why it needs to, but that's a
different question).

But turning on the "other" permissions did the trick!
I would not have guessed it.

Well, akmods runs as root, but the script that actually builds the package, akmodsbuild, runs as a normal user. You should never build software as root :)

Glad that was it!
