Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In ubuntu natty, if you have binutils-gold installed, installing the
  nvidia-current package results in a nvidia kernel module that causes
  oops. After purging binutils-gold the rebuilding of the nvidia kernel
  module results in a module that works.
