Package: linux-image-5.9.0-4-amd64
Version: 5.9.11-1

For the kernel Nvidia driver (xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx)
can not be compiled -- the compiling process exits with error.

I'm using Devuan's sid distro version.

There is nothing that suggests this is a Devuan-specific issue. All of Devuan's
kernel packages are used directly from Debian without recompilation. So please
report this issue to Debian's BTS.

Thanks.
