I can't figure out how to edit my comments, so big apology in advance. My work around works if and only if gcc and g++ have not been changed or restored to the default version (currently v5.3.1). In other word, changing the default system compiler would create this type of issue, so this isn't really a bug on your side. You may close this bug report, unless you feel that nvidia-361 should be able to build on any gcc/g++ versions.
