Just checked the nvidia driver manual. It states that you'll also need the binutils package to compile the kernel module. It is not installed by installing build-essential. The rest is installed by installing build-essential. You'll need the following software versions:

binutils 2.9.5
GNU make 3.77
gcc 2.91.66
glibc 2.0
