When examining repos it seems like the inconsistency was introduced in
xenial-updates where packages in the build toolchain was bumped from
5.3.1 to 5.4.0 while the supplied kernel still is built with GCC 5.3.1
and the dependecy-packages that provide symlinks to tool-binaries also
remain at version 5.3.1

Package      xenial             xenial-security     xenial-updates
------------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc          4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1   
gcc-5        5.3.1-14ubuntu2    5.3.1-14ubuntu2.1   5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.1      
 

The issue of inconsistent versions relates to a number of packages in
the chain of build-tools (binaries and libraries) tagged with versions
5.3.1 and/or 5.4.0. DKMS is not to blame.
