Try to solve this with mount -o remount,exec /tmp (at least until 
drivers compile). Although I see I also have a noexec mounted /tmp, but 
building nvidia goes without trouble (debian packages, dkms).

You could also try TMPDIR=/var/tmp; export TMPDIR in terminal in which 
you're about to build the driver, but that's not guaranteed to work.
