Whonder if there just is a typo somewhere... ;)

# ls /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux*      
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

looks like svgalib does not build ... vmlinux.lds.s  as the normal kernel
'make' does .. see below

  CPP     arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s   .... this line right here in normal
make is missing in svgalib build sequence where vmlinux.lds.s is created from
vmlinux.lds.S
  CC [M]  arch/i386/kernel/edd.o
  CC [M]  arch/i386/kernel/scx200.o

removing the 'clean' from  line 66 in the ebuild .. where the kernel modules
are built .. then running a fresh kernel make .. to ensure vmlinux.lds.s exists
 and then emergeing svgalib eliminates the problem and svgalib builds and
installs correctly..

looks like this might be a kernel 'make modules' w/o running a regular ..
'make' .. build problem ..

(all 2.6.3 kernels in my case)
