the build (compile) process fails due to:

ntp_config.c:1619: `CONFIG_PHONE' undeclared (first use in this function)

i came to the conclusion, that this error is due to a line in
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/param.h:
#include <linux/autoconf.h>     (which undefines that macro, if the kernel
is conf. w/o  telephony services.)  ... a nice clash of C macros (once used internally by ntp, once undefined by a configuration of the kernel).

But the strange thing is, that the  #include  line in  param.h is only for 
certain kernel configuration. I don't know why.

it was my fault.  I symlinked   /usr/include/linux ->
/usr/src/linux/include/linux   and    asm -> asm.  I don't know why in Gentoo
it  is not the right thing to do. (i was used to do it for years).
