Had the same issue on 14.04 with HWE kernel.

Last Friday morning I got offered the -116 kernel - which broke the
nvidia driver module, forcing me to revert back to the -112 kernel.

Only today (not checked during the weekend) I got offered the compiler
update, from 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3 to 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4.

Didn't re-install the -116 kernel yet, but given other people's
experiences I trust that should now go fine.

However, it does show that there seems to be some dependency or
distribution issue between this kernel and the required compiler
version, offering the kernel update before the compiler update was
available, and not holding off the kernel update if the compiler update
isn't in place yet.
