A baseline test I did was to update both a VM with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 and my laptop where I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. With both systems up to date (March 25th, 2017) I tried to install the the latest Nvidia 375 drivers. It installed on the VM (though it is kind of worthless here), but hung up on my laptop just like it has in the past. With it both compiling and failing to compile on the same version and patch level of Ubuntu, just different paths to get to this point, I would think this points to an issue with Ubuntu, not Nvidia.
