johnm: Is this possible to implement with linux-mod? White: Any idea how to fix it?
gthe problem with this one is here: BUILD_PARAMS="KERNELPATH=${ROOT}${KV_DIR} KERNELRELEASE=${KV_FULL} TARGET=${TARGET} TOOLPREFIX=/usr/bin/" KV_DIR = the srcdir, which is readlink -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source for example. this isnt where the Makefile is kept, as the makefile is kept in KV_OUT_DIR KV_OUT_DIR = the objdir, which is readlink -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build can you please try changing that to ${KV_OUT_DIR} and testing. if it works, please comment on this bug. I will make the ebuild change now anyways, since it wont hurt for anyone not using KBUILD_OUTPUT
