Until the NVIDIA_driver spell is fixed, just comment out the patch
information in NVIDIA_driver/BUILD so that it doesn't try to patch,
then recast. This /should/ fix your problem.

Also, check and make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the same
kernel as you are running (I use 2.4.21-ck3, so /usr/src/linux ->
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21).
