patch that solves the problem

this is a bug in a Makefile that comes with gentoo (not the distribution, but
the filemanager). here is a patch that fixes the issue.

I reckon this should be reported upstream, so the (filemanager) gentoo people
can fix this bug in their package. There is no problem with the ebuild.

for now, apply the patch as follows:
be root
emerge app-misc/gentoo
hit Ctrl-z just when configure starts
copy the patch to /var/tmp/portage/gentoo-0.11.50/work/
cd to /var/tmp/portage/gentoo-0.11.50/work/
execute 'patch -p0 < gentoo-installfix.diff'
cd ~
execute 'fg' 

-> gentoo merges cleanly :)
