Title: v4l2loopback-dkms 0.9.1-4: v4l2loopback kernel module failed to build
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)

[Mike (mike-plekhanov)]

I had the same problem while installing dkms module. I reverted default gcc and g++ compiler back to gcc-5 from gcc-4.7 and after that all works fine.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[You-Sheng Yang (vicamo)]

This should no longer be an issue with both yakkety native kernel 4.8.0-59-generic or latest xenial kernel 4.4.0-210-generic
