Genkernel can`t create supplementary tools for initramfs image and nice splash too. It happens with binutils 2.16. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge genkernel 2. emerge gentoo-sources 3. genkernel all Actual Results: Kernel compile cleanly, but genkernel can't produce initramfs image. Expected Results: See man genkernel.

Andrew, can you please join us in #gentoo-releng if you're going to post bugs on the pre-release versions of genkernel. We are actively working on this and all of the bugs you're posting are generally known to us before you post the bug report. It would reduce duplication quite a bit if you did.
