I have what NVidia claims is the correct driver package, a 340 series.
It
appears to build, but then fails to load. The only error I see is "no
such

else.
I've gone through the install log, and there are a bunch of Note:, and
warnings, but the later I think are all about comparing signed and
unsigned integers.
And lsmod shows no nvidia drivers registered, but the logs claims that
Error: Driver 'nvidia' is already registered, aborting...
Anyone got any ideas?

You don't say which version of the 340 series driver you have tried.
There was a bug with recent legacy releases that affected el7.4 kernels.
We (elrepo) patched the driver to fix that on rhel7.4 releases. I'm not
sure but it _may_ have been fixed in the 340.104 driver released last
week - I've not bothered building it as the changelog only mentions
"Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels" which we
patched/fixed in our the previous release and other issues which don't
affect kmods on RHEL.
So it sounds like a known issue which has already been fixed. If you
don't want to use our packages, maybe take a look at the patch and try
applying it to your build.
Tested 340.76, 340.102, 340.104 (elrepo and proprietary).
No luck over here with a GTX260 and the 64b-drivers.
Will test some more, if still no luck, I'll just reinstall from scratch.
The kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-4.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver should
work for your card on el7.4.
All previous releases in elrepo were for el7.3 (and earlier) and are not
compatible with the el7.4 series kernel.
