bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [scripts/recordmcount: Syntax error: end of file unexpected]

[Dave Odell]

One of two DKMS failures I've gotten during the 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade. Difficulty: 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace.

I don't think this is a duplicate of any of the other bcmwl errors, but I'm not seeing any way to refer back to the detailed bug report right now, so I can't be sure. Apologies if it is indeed a duplicate.
