I'm have kernel configured with koutput enabled so the build outpus are in /vat/kernel-output/_KERNEL_VERSION_ dir (I'm using for that config-kernel utility upon this documentation http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/2.6-koutput-user.xml) This is necessary for LIRC compilation. When trying to emerge splashutils it crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-dev-sources 2. config-kernel --make-koutput=/usr/src/KERNEL_VERSION 3. make config 4. make 5. change /usr/src/linx symlink to /usr/src/KERNEL_VERSION 6.

Please check if it works for you with 0.9-pre08.
Yes, 0.9-pre08 works pretty good :-) ...but I have a suggestion. I think you should take in account a possibility that /usr/src/linux is not a relative symlink "-> linux-VERSION" but an absolute one "--> /usr/src/linux-VERSION"
