I can't reproduce the problem here. Any chance you could attach your /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.129/build/make.log ?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

It looks like the same problem with the new gcc flags:

error: ‘-mindirect-branch’ and ‘-fcf-protection’ are not compatible

I am pretty sure Seth fixed in the kernel as per LP: #1830961
