Hi Michael, Andrei
thanks for your swift responses! One correction: I mentioned the wrong kernel version - its 5.11.15 for build 20210425.
Michael - I've tried your suggestion but it failed complaining about a - in my words - "mismatch" with nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-460.73.01_k5.11.11_1-37.1.x86_64.rpm (The file I've tee'd the output to got overwritten so regrettably I can't provide more details, grmbl) The kernel-source for 5.11.15 is present.
Your comment and also Andrei's point stating the nvidia modules are compiled on the machine made me try to update to the latest available build 20210429 which employs kernel 5.12.0. (Not knowing much about the "nvidia issue" I assumed nvidia are trying to keep some stuff from others looking into, thus forcing download of some pre-complied objects rather than to compile in situ)
After the change to 5.12.0 all is fine again - I'm writing this mail on the system.
One observation: I was following the update closely (which I usually don't do ;-)) and was concerned when I saw:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I can reproduce it. It is due to this line of nvidia/nvidia.Kbuild: always += $(NVIDIA_INTERFACE) Changing it to always-m += $(NVIDIA_INTERFACE) allows build to complete. I am not exactly sure what this part does and why it fails for 5.12 and not for 5.11, but you should open bug report on openSUSE bugzilla and possibly report it nvidia.

This is cosmetic.
Modprobe blacklist files have been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau from loading. This can be reverted by deleting /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-*.conf.
*** Reboot your computer and verify that the NVIDIA graphics driver can be loaded. ***
grep: /etc/sysconfig/kernel: No such file or directory
This is also not a problem, although SPEC file could be improved to avoid this scary output.

Any idea whether this could turn into something serious or can it be ignored?
